Specifying font formatting options

On the Font page of the Layout Properties window, you can specify unique font and color attributes for each column's header cell, for each detail cell in every column, for each break point summary cell (if break columns have been specified), and for the column's final summary cell.

About this task

To specify the font formatting options:

Procedure

  1. Open the Layout Properties window. Click the Font tab.
  2. To specify the font attributes for the header cell of the column, select the Header branch under the column name.

    Specify the font attributes that you want for the column's header cell in the Font, Font style, Size, Foreground, and Background fields.

  3. To specify the font attributes for the detail cells of the column, select the Detail branch under the column name.
    1. From the Detail branch, select the Default branch to specify the font attributes that will be used for all detail cells in the column.
    2. Select a Condition branch to specify the font attributes that will be used for a detail cell that meets a specific condition.
    3. You can create multiple conditional statements for the detail cells in the column.

    Once you have selected the Default or a Condition branch, specify the font attributes that you want applied to the qualifying detailed cells in the Font, Font Style, Size, Foreground color, and Background color fields.

  4. To specify the font attributes for the summary cell of the column, select the Grand Total branch under the column name.

    Summary cells are not always visible in the query results column. The summary cell is visible only if you have specified a grouping and aggregation code for the column.

    1. From the Grand Total branch, select the Default branch, to specify the font attributes that will be used for the summary cell.
    2. Select a Condition branch to specify the font attributes that will be used for the summary cell if the value of the cell meets a specific condition.

    You can create multiple conditional statements for the summary cell in the column. Once you have selected the Default or a Condition branch, specify the font attributes that you want in the Font, Font Style, Size, Foreground color, and Background color fields.

  5. Click Apply to save the font attributes that you have specified.

    The formatting information that you have specified for the column is applied in the query results.
