5. Double-left-click the report you want (or left-click the report and then
left-click the 
button).
6. This will display the Format an Inventory Report window.
7. If appropriate, select how you want your report sorted by left-clicking
the down arrow 
and then left-clicking your
selection from the drop-down list.

button to preview the report on your screen.
10. After your report has appeared on the Print Preview window, you can
left-click the print button 
to print the
report or left-click the 
button to exit.
When you first start using the system, it's a good idea to practice choosing and formatting different kinds of reports. This will help you get the "feel" for how you can format your own reports by selecting ranges of data in different combinations.
