 					<h2 class="topic-section-header padding-top-small">Create a Project</h2>
 					<p>Eclipse uses projects to organize your files. So, the first step is to create a new project. For this demo, let's create a project called "My Reports":
 					<ul class="eclipse-list">
 						<li>Choose File->New->Project. The new project dialog appears.</li><br />
 						<li>Open the "Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools" group and choose "Report Project".</li><br />
 						<li>Click Next.</li><br />
 						<li>Type "My Reports" (without the quotes) as the project name.</li><br />
 						<li>Click Finish.</li><br />
 						<li>Click OK if asked to switch to the Report Design perspective. (This occurs if you create a BIRT project while in a perspective other than Report Design.)</li>
 					</ul>
 					</p>

 					<h2 class="topic-section-header padding-top-small">Create a Report</h2>
 					<p>We're now ready to create our first report:
 					<ul class="eclipse-list">
 						<li>Choose File->New->Report. The new report dialog appears.</li><br />
 						<li>In the tree view, choose the project we just created: My Reports.</li><br />
 						<li>Enter the following in the file name field: Customers.rptdesign.</li><br />
 						<li>Click Next.</li>
 					</ul>
 					</p>
 					<p>You can create a report in three ways: as a blank report, by using a BIRT-defined template, or by copying one of your report designs. In this tutorial we will use a Template descibed in the next section.</p>

 					<h2 class="topic-section-header padding-top-small">Choose a Template</h2>
 					<p>The next page of the New Report dialog presents a selection of report templates. Before we choose the one we want, let's walk though what's available.
 					<ul class="eclipse-list">
 						<li>My First Report - Starts a report template that takes you through a tutorial using on-line help. (That tutorial will eventually replace this one.)</li><br />
 						<li>Blank Report - Creates a blank report with no predefined content.</li><br />
 						<li>Simple Listing - A tabular listing with no grouping.</li><br />
 						<li>Grouped Listing - A tabular listing with grouping. Grouping shows repeated values just once. Grouping also allows you to create subtotals.</li><br />
 						<li>Dual Column Listing - Produces a listing with two columns side-by-side.</li><br />
 						<li>Chart & Listing - A tabular listing that adds a chart to the top of the report.</li><br />
 						<li>Dual Column Chart & Listing - Combines charts and tables so you can display two sets of related data in a single report.</li><br />
 						<li>Side by Side Chart & Listing - Creates a grouped report where each group contains a chart and a listing side by side.</li>
 					</ul>
 					</p>
 					<p>We're now ready to choose our template:
 					<ul class="eclipse-list">
 						<li>Select the Grouped Listing.</li><br />
 						<li>Click Finish.</li>
 					</ul>
 					</p>
 					<p>BIRT opens your new report in the Eclipse workspace.</p>
