How to create a style

  1. In the layout editor, select the report element to which you want to apply a style. If you want to create a style, but not apply it to any elements, click in the area outside the page.
  2. Choose Element->New Style.
  3. Style Properties appears. The left side displays the property categories. The right side displays the properties for the category you select.

  4. Specify one of the following settings:
    • To apply style properties to a specific type of report element, select Predefined Style and select a style from the drop-down list.
    • To create a user-named style, specify a unique descriptive name for Custom Style. Make sure the name is not the same as any of the predefined style names. If you specify a name that is the same as a predefined style, your custom style takes precedence, and you will no longer be able to use the predefined style to apply cascading styles.
  5. Set the desired style properties by selecting a property category on the left and specifying property values.
  6. When you finish setting style properties, choose OK to save the style.
  7. If you selected an element before you created the style, the style is applied to the element.
