7.10.1 Adding a New Page Area
To add a new page area to the flow report layout, follow the steps below:

1. Click the 'Layout View' button in the Style Studio toolbar. This switches the report to layout mode.

2. Click the 'Draw Area' button. This switches the report to drawing mode.
3. Drag with the mouse to draw a page area with the desired position and size.
4. Repeat the previous step to add additional areas.

Each area displays a sequence number at the top-left corner. This determines the order in which contents will flow from one region into another.

5. To change the area flow order, click the 'Order Area' button. This changes the cursor is to a “hand” pointer.
6. Click all the areas, one after the other, in the order that you wish them to be used. After you have clicked on every area, Style Studio returns to its normal editing mode.
If report elements do not need to appear in a particular page area, you do not need to use area breaks. However, if you require that certain elements remain in a particular area, you must use area breaks to make sure that the element stays in its intended area. The example below (Associating a Page Area with a Report Element) illustrates the use of page breaks.
