8Define the number of Sections. Each row in a table defines how your Acer s10 data
will be placed in a Section of your custom Expense Report. Note that the prepaid
portion of a section has its own row and counts as a separate section for map table
purposes, even though it is not a separate section in your template.
You may add or delete rows as necessary so that the total number of rows
corresponds to the number of Sections in your custom Expense Report. To clear all of
the existing settings in a row, click to select the row and press Ctrl+Delete. Name each
row to correspond to a Section of your custom Expense Report.
