Styling Reports
Topics:

A styled report is a report produced as format HTML, PDF, PostScript, Excel 2000, or Excel 97 that uses different default and/or user-specified formats from a standard FOCUS report. You can specify various characteristics of your report and format report components individually using a StyleSheet, or you can let the report be created using the default styles associated with these output formats.

A StyleSheet enables you to format and produce attractive reports that highlight key information.

You can use a StyleSheet to:

  • Format report components individually.
  • Format data that meets specified conditions.
  • Create macros that enable you to streamline your formatting specifications.

Some advanced features of styled reports work differently depending on which format you choose for your report output. For detailed information about working with each type of styled output format, see Choosing a Styled Display Format.
