Changing fonts
Table 1-9 summarizes the various ways you can change the fonts used in
InfoMaker.
Table 1-9: Changing fonts
Use the Printer font tab to set fonts specifically for printing. If you need to print
multilanguage characters, make sure you use a font that is installed on your
printer. Changes you make in the Tools>System Options dialog box and from
the Design>Options menu selection are used the next time you open
InfoMaker.
Accessing shared queries stored on a network
Your company may store a library (a PBL file) of queries on a network. Having
a query library is a convenient way to make carefully developed and
well-tested queries that go against corporate data available to everyone.
If you want to access a query library on a network, you must identify it as a
source of queries. Then when you create a new report, form, or pipeline, and
specify Query as your data source, InfoMaker includes the queries from the
query library in your list of available queries.
