Be sure to add extras such as colour to your fields and a header or footer.(This must be done in Layout Mode). Adding colour to a field can be done by right-clicking on it and selecting the fill option on the menu. Also, changing the field to currency can be done by right clicking on the field and then selecting number from the menu. Adding a text box in the header can be done by clicking on the "A" and then selecting a spot in the header. Good Luck!
