How You Can Enhance Report Design
After you have completed the design and layout of the report document, you can enhance its appearance in the following ways:
• Align text, fields, and data—align left, align right, center, or justify
• Format the display of text on the page—wrap, truncate, and specify line spacing for text displays
• Add borders around selected fields
• Change fonts and point sizes
• Apply bold, italics, and underlining
• Add color
• Create a report title page
• Control page breaks
You can specify the format of a field before you enter information in it. Reporter applies the formatting as you enter text and continues to use this formatting on new fields until you reset it or reposition the cursor. For example, if you create a new field, it has the same attributes as the previous one.
When you copy or move a field, Reporter also copies or moves the formatting. Select the Copy Attributes and Paste Attributes commands on the Layout menu to apply the attributes of a selected field to another field.
