In the wizard's third dialog or, alternatively, on the "Properties" tab, you edit the layout properties and specify the wrapping behavior.

Various layout properties are available including:

§ Background

§ Default frame

§ Minimum size (%) and minimum height

In addition, as crosstabs are often wider and higher than the specified page format, you can also specify the wrapping behavior for columns and rows. It creates as many pages (shadow pages) as necessary. The row labels are repeated on all pages as standard while the column labels are not repeated.

Various wrapping properties are available including:

§ Repeat Labels: Specifies whether the labels of columns or rows are to be printed again in the case of a page break.

§ Break Level: Specifies the optimum break level, e.g. "0". This corresponds to the lowest group, i.e. the quarter.

§ Column > Page Break on Shadow Pages: If the cross table is too wide, the wrapped parts are printed on shadow pages. A shadow page does not count as a "real" page and therefore does not have a page number. The default setting specifies that the wrapped parts are to be output below the table.
