Using the underlay feature with charts
Since charts can print only in certain sections of your report, the underlay
feature gives you more control in the overall look of your report. Instead of
having a chart print ahead of the data it represents, it can appear next to the
data for a more comprehensible report.
This is how your report looks when you underlay a chart with report data.

The Section Expert dialog box appears.

Following Sections check box.
