Report styles dialog |
Scroll |
Allows you to create, browse, edit styles stored in the library, as well as edit the structure of libraries, copy and move styles from one library to another.
The dialog contains two viewports, which can simultaneously display style lists from two different libraries. To perform various actions in a viewport, click it to activate it. Selecting a style in the style list makes the controls for working with it available. Style lists are structured as a tree—sections, subsections, and so on—containing styles. All objects in the tree are automatically sorted by name within each section.
Above each dialog box is a search field where you can search for a style by name. To find the desired style, enter the desired characters in the search field, then select the desired string from the list of search results that appears.
