  Step 1:  Go To the Minutes

You can scroll down to page 2 or you can press [Ctrl][G] to open the Go To dialog box. If you take this approach, enter 2 in the Enter page number text box as shown here, click Go To, then click Close.
  Step 2:  View the Minutes

Open a Report
The Minutes begin on page 2 as shown here. Note that the original graphic appears. In a later tutorial you will copy the graphic used on the Agenda page to replace the graphic on the Minutes page.
  Step 3:  Enter Meeting Data

Open a Report
Enter the data for the meeting to match the agenda as shown.
  Step 4:  Enter Text for Topic 1

Open a Report
Scroll down the page and then enter text as shown for the first topic—Approval of Minutes. Note that several table cells appear. You do not need to enter text in each cell. When you have finished entering all the text for the minutes, delete all the table cells you don't need.
  Step 5:  Enter Text for Topic 2

Open a Report
Here's text related to topic 2—Senior Council Report. Note the use of bullets to separate each item.
  Step 6:  Complete the Minutes

You continue to enter text for each topic. Changes to the topics you made in the agenda after closing the Agenda Wizard do not appear in the minutes form. You need to insert new topics manually. Here's text for topic 4—Treasurer's Report.
