If you go to the report options, on the Display tab
you will see two dropdown boxes, Parent Account Totals
and Parent Account Subtotals.  By playing with these,
you can arrange for subtotals to be shown in various
ways.  This description applies to the Balance Sheet
report but I think other reports are similar.
