Matrix Report Headings?

How can one add headings to the Row fields in a Matrix report?
One is easy (you just add it to the top left cell), but what if you
have more than one field in the Row area?
Much appreciated!Graham, This is a relatively common issue with a fairly kludgy solution.
Try creating a rectangle outside of the matrix, place the appropriate
fields or textboxes within the rectangle, format it to suit your needs
then cut and paste the rectangle into the row cell in the matrix.
Rectangles are quite useful containers.
