The Detail Area is a bounding box surrounding
the incoming variable data. A Detail Area needs to be
defined as part of the Base Page if you intend to include
the variable detail lines from the data file. The figure
below outlines a sample Detail Area on a form.

There are two types of Detail Areas:
- Static - the Detail Area remains in the same position on each page.
- Floating - the Detail Area
moves up and down the page and changes in size to
provide room for Report and Page headers and
footers.
