Specifying the Default Font, Style, and Color

Report Builder automatically applies a default font, point size, and color to all fields in a report. When you create or insert a field, Report Builder applies the default font settings, as shown in Table 4–3.

Table 4–3: Font Defaults 
Setting
Default
Font

The range of fonts available to be applied to report fields depends on the currently selected printer and the fonts installed on your system. See the documentation that came with your Windows Operating System for information about selecting printers.

Follow these steps to change the Report Builder default font, point size, and color:

  1. Choose Options Default Settings. The Default Settings dialog box appears:
  2. Select a font from the Font drop-down list.
  3. Specify a point size in the Size field.
  4. Select a color from the Foreground Color drop-down list.
  5. Choose OK to return to the report layout.
NOTE: Any font changes you make will not affect fields currently in the layout, but will be applied to fields you insert after changing the default.
