Choosing report-wide options
You can set the default options, such as colors and borders, that InfoMaker uses
in creating the initial draft of a report.
Report generation options are for styles that use a layout made up of bands,
which include Freeform, Grid, Label, N-Up, Tabular, Group, TreeView, and
Crosstab. InfoMaker maintains a separate set of options for each of these
styles.
When you first create any of these style reports, you can choose options in the
wizard and save your choices as the future defaults for the style.
❖ To specify default colors and borders for a style:
1 Select Design>Options from the menu bar.
The Report Options dialog box displays.
2 Select the Generation tab page if it is not on top.
3 Select the presentation style you want from the Presentation Style drop-
down list.
The values for properties shown on the page are for the currently selected
presentation style.
4 Change one or more of the following properties:
Property Meaning for the report
Background color The default color for the background.
Text border and color The default border and color used for labels and
headings.
