Grid Lines and Tab Breaks

Grid Lines, Tab Breaks and Other Report Formatting

You set all formatting for financial reports using the Financial Statement Designer's format commands.

For example:

To select the character font, bold type, left or right alignment, number appearance, cell borders and patterns, you use the commands on the Format menu.
To turn the spreadsheet grid on or off for printing, and turn on or off the row and column labels, you use the Display command on the Option menu.
To force a tab breaks in the printed report, use the Set tab Break command in the corresponding position of the report specification. Set the tab break in column A of the spreadsheet. (Note that the cell containing the tab break creates a vertical tab break as well as a horizontal one.)

All formatting applied to rows or columns in a report specification will also be applied to the rows and columns of the generated report.

To see the effect of all tab formatting in the Financial Report Designer, use the Print, Preview command after generating the report with FR View.
