Styles

Introduction

A style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to information on your report to quickly change its appearance and give your reports a consistent look. When you apply a style, you apply a set of formatting in one step. For example, instead of separately formatting the size, font and colour of text; you can apply all the formatting using a style.

Styles are specific to a report. If you modify a style in one report, it does not affect other reports.

You can

• Apply styles to anything on a report, text, lines, boxes.
• Use the set of styles that comes with Report Designer straightaway, or modify them if needed.
• Create your own styles.

Using styles

• To apply a style, select the item in the report, then select a style from the Style list on the formatting toolbar.

• To add, remove or edit a style; either click Modify Styles on the formatting toolbar, or select Style from the Properties pane.
