Previewing and printing
To see what the RichText report looks like with data, you can preview it in the
Preview view or in preview mode.
❖ To preview the report in preview mode:
1 Select File>Run/Preview from the menu bar, or click the Run/Preview
button on the PowerBar.
2 Select Rows>Retrieve from the menu bar.
Retrieve on Preview
If the RichText definition specifies Retrieve on Preview, data is retrieved
automatically when you open the Preview view or preview the report in
preview mode.
Changes in preview Data While previewing the report in preview mode, or when focus is in the
Preview view, you can use the scroll buttons in the Preview toolbar to move
from row to row, and you can change data in the input fields. The changes you
make, however, do not affect the data in the database.
Text Any changes you make to the rich text in the Preview view will not be
reflected in the Design view. Any changes that you want to keep must be made
in the Design view, not in preview.
If the Display Only setting is checked, you cannot change text or data in the
Preview view.
Print Preview
Print Preview displays a reduced view of one row of data as it would appear
when printed.
❖ To see the report in Print Preview:
1 Click in the Preview view to make it the current view.
2 Select File>Print Preview.
In Print Preview, you can test different margin settings and scroll through the
pages of the document.
You cannot scroll to view other rows of data.
Any changes you make to settings in Print Preview are discarded when you
return to the Design view.
