Bold, Italic and Underline for a Simple Report

Give a report a heading, a disclaimer and a calculation break, each marked with the formatting it actually needs.

What you will learn

• Apply bold to a title so it reads as a heading
• Apply italic to a note so it reads as an aside, not part of the data
• Apply underline to the last figure before a total, marking where the calculation starts
