For headers and footers, you will need to create a separate stack, and
specify it (or them) on the Header and Footer tab in the Report Builder.
You can create column headers and footers using this method pretty easily -
the only thing is that you'll need to be careful to size the header fields
properly to match the columns in your main report card.

Graphics (or any other object) can be included on the report card, so you
can (for example) have a horizontal rule between rows or whatever. You just
draw them onto the report card the same as any other card.
