The report preview is interactive. You can select various data within the preview window to trace the origins of that data all the way back to the relevant input screens. When you move your mouse pointer over data that is interactive, the pointer changes from an arrow to a hand. In addition, the report preview window has its own toolbar that you can use to work with the data in the preview.
