Author Reports 2.5

Hi,

I have a query. I have a field on a summary report which is
abbreviated i.e. New, Aft etc.

I want to create another field which will give the full description
i.e. New => New Tyres, Aft = Breakdown after hours etc.

how is this done? I've done it before but can't remember?

Any help appreciated
