Report options allow you to control certain aspects of report output. The options vary based on the report that you select to print or preview in the Report Designer and apply to that report only. Also, some of the options that are displayed are determined by filtering selections and other items that are selected in the Report tab of the File > Page Setup dialog in the Report Designer.

In the Report Designer choose File > Print to open the Options dialog or press Ctrl+P.
