You can insert additional sections within the predefined document sections. This allows you to customize each section independently of the other. For example, you may want one section that repeats before the Detail section and after any grouping headers, and a second section that does not repeat. Add an additional section within the Detail Header and set the properties for each section.
Another reason to use additional sections is relative vertical positioning. That is, if you have multiple grids placed on top of each other in a section, the grids can overlap in the exported PDF version of the document. Inserting a new section and placing each grid into its own section will allow them to grow without overlapping.
Note: The new section is formatted like the section into which it was added.

If a section is set to display horizontally, it will print horizontally across the page. For example, Detail sections are displayed next to the group header. You can add a section to a horizontally displayed section, as with vertically displayed sections. The only difference is that you insert the section to the left or right of the original section, rather than above or below it. The new section is displayed horizontally as well.

Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.
Select a section in the document layout area.
From the Insert menu, select either Insert Section Above or Insert Section Below. A line appears in the Layout area to divide the sections.
You can size the sections by clicking the line divider and dragging it.
The new section is formatted like the section it was added to. You can format the new section and the original section independently.
