How Do I...
When displaying or printing reports, use the Fonts
tab to choose and modify the report style that the report appears in.
You can then set the header section of your report to display your company
name, the date and time, and a couple of titles. You can also change the
style and size of fonts for any of the sections listed.
To change the format of a displayed report, click the Options
button in the Report window. Then click
the Fonts tab.
Style: Use the drop-down list
to select an available report style. In addition to the four standard
styles—Classic,
Contemporary, Professional, Elegant—available
styles will include any new ones you've created in the Report
Styles window.
The grid below the Style field lets you define how you want each section
of the report formatted, including the report headers, data, and totals.
- Show: Select
this check box to include the report section to the right of the box.
- Section: These
are the names of the areas of the report. For rows that are totally gray,
you can change only the font.
- Font: Click
the Font button to the right of this column to change
the font of the respective report section. Sage 50 displays the Font
window.
Below are the different report sections that you can format:
- Report Print
Date: This prints the date and time on the left top corner of your
page. The page number appears in the right top corner of the page. The
date and page numbers do not appear when you preview the report.
- Company Name:
This is the name of the company with which you're currently working.
- Title 1: You
can choose to show a primary report title. You might want this to be the
name of the report—for
example, Aged Receivables Report. The field at the bottom of the window
lets you enter the text of this title.
- Title 2: You
can choose to show a second report title. The field at the bottom of the
window lets you enter the text.
- Filter Settings:
The filter settings display a sentence stating what options you
chose on the
tab.
- Field Title:
The field titles appear in the header of the report.
- Report Data: The
report data is the body of the report. It includes everything below the
header except for the report totals.
- Report Totals:
The report totals represent the total and subtotal fields.
At the bottom of the window are two fields for formatting report titles:
Title 1 and Title 2 Report Labels:
These fields let you enter the text used for the primary and secondary
titles that will appear on the report (if you've chosen to show them).
You can also select the Insert button to insert a special code into the
report titles. Sage 50 displays the Insert
Special Code window.
