Change font on reports?

Post by pcoc888 »

I want to know if we can change the font size on the reports. We recently updated to 6.5.45.6 and the font size on our end of day reports has definitely shrunk. It makes it very difficult for the office to read the numbers quickly and changing font size should be something that is easy to do; but I can't find where to do this.

Anyone else notice this and finding it an issue? The update is nice and we love the shading but we really need the font size to be a little larger for easy reading.

Thanks!

To which report are you referring? Generally speaking, reports are not user modifiable. There are cases where they may provide an update, though.

Specifically the Cash Receipts by Payment Type report. We use this report every day and it is really difficult to read with the fonts chosen by Mitchell on the update.

If you know of anyway to increase the font on this report, I'm all ears!

OK. That's one we use every day also. I can see where the font size may be a bit small. My mom does the books and at 80 she says she can see it, but she admitted to having to 'get used to it'.

I did notice a useless column that's greyed out. There's no need for the Pay type column, since this report is by pay type. I'd suggest getting rid of that column and going up a size on the rows. In order for us minions to do this, we would need a copy of Crystal Reports 12 and be fluent in it's operation. Best to let the powers look at this and see if they can tweak it.

Good observation about the payment type column, I will look at modifying the report when I return from Nashville.
