# Pagination and formatting for Reports
Pagination options let you configure layout, context, presentation, and formatting. These capabilities help ensure paginated reports are well-structured, easy to read, and consistently formatted.
The following sections describe how to use pagination options, such as customizing the header and footer, formatting cells, and creating visual hierarchies in your reports.
#### Configure pagination
1. Go to **Design** > **Header & Footer**.
2. Select **Pagination Controls** and select the pagination style to apply.
3. Select the settings icon in the footer to configure the number of rows displayed per page.
4. To show data for a specific dimension category on each page: set **Rows per page** to **Row Break**. Select the dimension category, such as **Region**. This displays data grouped by the selected dimension on separate pages.
#### Customize the report header
1. Select **Header & Footer** in the **Design** ribbon.
2. Choose from built-in header and footer presets.
3. Select the edit icon to enter custom header text.
4. Use the same icon to upload images to the header.
#### Format cells and column headers
1. Set the cell background and font color, apply text formatting (bold, italic, underline), and adjust the font type and size. Use **Format Painter** to copy formatting across multiple cells.
2. Use the column gripper to choose the **Select Header** option, then apply the desired formatting.
3. Apply banded rows to improve readability by highlighting even and odd rows with different colors.
#### Add notes and annotations
1. Select a row category, column header, or cell. Select **Notes** > **Add New Note**. Use the rich text editor to enter and format notes. Select Save.
2. Enable **Notes Column** to enter row-level notes.
3. Enable **Footnotes** to view all cell, row, and column-level notes entered in the report.
4. Go to **Notes** > **Report Summary** to enter annotations at the report level.
#### Reorder columns
To reorder columns in your report, hover over a column and drag the column gripper to the desired position.
