Report formatting

ckirnbauer

Hello, I have some questions about report formatting:

1) when will the combination bold/italic be supported for text layouting?
2) I have a body text, consisting of 4 lines. Is there the possibility that I format a single word of the 4 line-text in bold or italic? I didn't find a method to do this.
3) I want to do place a label with _____________ and 6 or 7 tabs later on the right hand side, I want to place a second label with _____________.
I did it with spaces, unfortunately, I got the result:

label1__________ label2_________
How can I fix this issue?
4) When I have a report consisting of more pages, there is a problem. Because after 900 or 1000 pixels height, I get an error after saving the report. So my workaround would be 3 or 4 subreports in the summary area. How can I fix this more conqueniently?
5) In my page header I originally had a header text and replaced the text with a 200x40 pixel image. Unfortunately, there was a blank page after the page header. That shouldn't happen.

Kind regards,
Christian

1) Cannot say, we need to have a look at this.

2) The format applies to each element. If you need different format, use separate report elements

3) Sorry, I cannot understand the question. Can you please rephrase.

4) Just allocate more space for the report if required to accommodate the contents. This has been tested and worked successfully in many reports.

5) Make sure you allocate enough space for the page header band.

1) Could you at this to your wish list?

3) I want to print out an agreement, where 2 parties have to sign the document. It looks like that:

Contracttext..........

President Vice President

I realized this with spaces for tabs are not supported.
Unfortunately, I get following result:

President Vice President

How can I get Vice President on the right hand side on the same line as President?

4, 5) How do I allocate space, I didn't find a rule to allocate space?
By the way, can I force AwareIM to do a pagebrake?

kind regards
Christian

3) You can use two separate elements and position them side by side with any desired distance between them.

4), 5) Report height is set in Report Properties dialog (menu command Edit - Report Properties). Height for each band is set in Band Properties dialog (right-click on band header).

You can force a page break by adding a group band to the report and check the Start New Page box for it. Otherwise the pagination is done automatically when the reported data fills the current page.

Generally, reports are intended to work with multiple iterative data where each data element is smaller than the page size. If you do not need the aggregate and grouping functionality provided by reports, but need a better control over formatting and pagination, consider using other template types such as Word. Word templates are quite powerful too, they allow the use of conditional elements, sub-documents, etc. Please refer to the Aware IM User Guide for more details.
