  Step 1:  Open the Quick Tag Editor

Open a Report
To open the Quick Tag Editor (which gives you direct control over the HTML code that is used to create your objects) select the element from the status line that you wish to modify. When the complete object is highlighted, select the Modify, Quick Tag Editor menu option.
  Step 2:  The Quick Tag Editor Window

Open a Report
This simple window provides you with just the text content of the tag you are editing. You can type changes to the tag directly into the block, rather than make the adjustments to the tag properties palette.
  Step 3:  Available Attribute List

Open a Report
On the Quick Tag Editor, you have the option of selecting additional attributes to add from a drop down list. You can get this list to appear by typing a space after one of the closing quotation marks after one of the attributes. You can then select one of the available attributes by selecting it from the list.
  Step 4:  Make Your Changes Permanent

Making your changes become active is easy. Just click your mouse pointer off of the Quick Tag Editor and onto any other area of the document. If you have made a visible change to your document, such as changing font color or the size of an image, then the change will be immediately visible. If you have made other changes, such as adding an event to a link, you won't see the results of your change until you have tested them in a browser.
