To set a priority on a break:
1. Verify you are working in Report View.
The Edit Report button is pressed in when you are working in Report View.
2. Verify that the View Structure button is pressed in.
3. Right-click the table that contains multiple breaks and select Edit Format on the menu.
The Properties tab shows the properties relevant to a table.
4. Click the ... button next to the Breaks > Break priority property to display the Breaks
dilaog box.
5. Click Vertical breaks or Horizontal breaks to display the type of break you want to
prioritize.
• If the selected table is a vertical table, then all the breaks are applied to columns.
These are called Vertical breaks.
• If the selected table is a horizontal table, then all the breaks are applied to rows.
These are called Horizontal breaks.
• If the selected table is a crosstab, then breaks can be applied to rows or to columns.
You can choose the priority for the Horizontal breaks and for the Vertical breaks.
6. Select the break whose priority you want to change and click the Up/Down buttons to
promote/demote the break in the list of breaks.

2. Click a cell in the column or row where you want to remove a break.
