"Once you have the database ready, open it in OpenOffice.org
Base, switch to the Reports section, and click on the Create Report
in Design View link. This opens the Report Designer window, which
has three key components. The Report Controls toolbar contains
buttons you can use to add fields, labels, graphics, and graphs to
the report. The Properties pane to the right lets you specify the
properties of the currently selected control. For example, if you
select a field, you can use the Properties pane to specify the
field's data source and properties such as size, position, and
format."
