Area Captions

Area Captions are, as the name indicates, row captions in which the corresponding area name is placed for each table. Area captions are placed just above the total line of the first stub group in the table. An area caption is denoted by the "%AreaName%" text.

When the table is run, the %AreaName% is replaced by the names from the area names file.

If the table is a 'one-row' table, e.g., it has only column items but no stub groups, the area name caption replaces the 'Total' stub that would otherwise be present and the area caption is 'hidden'.

The area caption has the same formatting options as other captions, available by right clicking on the caption and choosing Format (Area caption). You can hide area captions, as in the example above, you can change the fonts, make them span rows, etc…

You can also set the default formats for all area captions in all tables in your file using Preferences and Default Formats.
