HOW TO CHANGE REPORT DEFAULT FONT SIZE

hi all## I know my question is so easy,but i am a beginer,pls forget my stupid.## HOW TO CHANGE THE REPORT DEFAULT FONT SIZE.NOW THE DEFAULT FONT SIZE IS 7,I WANT TO CHANGE TO 9.## I USE NAV2009.## THANKS.

Hi,

On the report section there is tool called ‘FONT’ there you can change font size.

As well as from control property you can change font size.

Hi,

Do you want to change the font size dynamically (Run mode) or in design mode. You cant change the font size dynamically. In design mode go to properties for the textbox or label control and change the font size. I dont know if my understanding is correct or not. If not post your requirement clearly.

You cannot change the default font size in the report designer. If you want to change the font size from the default 7 for all controls you have to do it for each one individually.

hi Kathik.D ,Amol

IN DESIGN MODE

IF I WANTED TO CHANGE 20 TEXTBOX FONT ,I HAVE TO CHANGE 20 TIMES.

I WANTED CHANGE THE NAV DEFAULT FONT SIZE.IF I ADD A CONTROL(TEXTBOX OR LABLE),THEY CONTROL’S FONT SIZE IS 9.NOT THE 7.

Default is 7 .You can not change that while adding the controls but you can change afterwards .

O MY GAD.

CAN’T CHANGE THE DEFAULT SIZE?

CHANGE THE FONT SIZE ONE BY ONE ,THIS IS SO BAD DESIGN…

Hello

It is not the best but try this trick, export your report into text file and use " find+replace" to replace all “FontSize=7” to “FontSize=9” , save your file and then import back the file to NAV and compile.

To be safe, make sure you have a backup of your report before performing above trick.

I think properties with default values are usually not exportred if you do a txt export. So this would not help in this specific case.

But once you have changed all font sizes from default 7 to for example 8 it’s a quick way to change it again to let’s say 9.

Yes Thomas, that is absolute right!

I AM SO SORRY FOR I DON’T FIND “FontSize=7”

@ hurbring,

we can’t find the default font for reports in Nav.we have to change the font at report printing lebvel only

Before you print a report, use the File, Page Setup option to make sure the margins are set correctly. From the Page Setup window, you can modify the margins, paper size, paper source, orientation and default font for the report.

Click Print to print the report. Windows displays a Print window which lets you select the printer, print range, number of copies, and so on. When the settings are correct, click OK to send the report to the printer.

Click Preview to view the report before you send it to the printer. From the Preview window you can send the report to the printer, zoom in or out, set the zoom to a specific percentage, set the number of pages shown, or go to a specific page.

Click Cancel to exit without printing the report.

I AM SORRY FOR

@Hurbring,

Did u get the solution or not

Not a problem, your English is MUCH better than my Chinese [:D]

There is a workarround pretty witty. The aim is to imitate de way Navision tags the FontSize.

I manually changed the fontsize of a textbox in a report to 15. Then, I open the text object in a text editor and study the way our friend formats this tag and… eureka!

Follow me:

a) Export report to TXT.

b) Open it with a text editor (I used UltraEdit)

c) Use Replace command

d) Look for

“HorzAlign=Right;”

e) and replace for

“HorzAlign=Right;
FontSize=X;”

where X is the desirable new size

f) Replace again, this time for lefts aligns: Look for:

“HorzAlign=Left;”

g) and replace for

“HorzAlign=Left;
FontSize=X;”

h) Save and Import Object as Text.
