| ActiveReports 9 Server Designer User Guide > Working with Text and Numbers > Working with Textboxes |
A textbox is a report item that contains text. The text appearance contributes to the overall presentation of a report, so we give you control over text properties such as font, size, style and effects in the Design toolbar. Besides formatting, you can also resize, move, or delete textboxes. Now you can also display report information such as page numbering, the report name, report execution time, or even parameter values in a textbox.
