Formatting Data, Text, and Images (Report Builder)

Font, font style, font size, color, and underline and strikethrough effects can be applied to text within a text box or a report layout cell. By default, report layout text is Tahoma, regular, and 8 points. The title text box is Tahoma, regular, 18 points by default. The Total rows and Filter text boxes, and any text box you add are Arial, regular, and 8 points by default.

By using the Font tab of the Format dialog box, you can specify how the text should appear, for example bold, underlined and/or in red.

Formatting Images

Fields that contain images can be added to a table or matrix report layout. If you use an image field, the images appear in the report when the report is run. You can adjust the height and width of the images by dragging the cell borders to increase or decrease the size of the cell.

Images, such as a logo, can also be inserted into a report layout. If you use an image in your report layout, you can adjust the height and width of the images by dragging the image handles to increase or decrease the size of the image. For more information about images in your report layout, see Working with Images.

By using the Picture tab of the Format dialog box, you can specify how you want to resize an image, for example cropped or in proportion, and then resize the image within the report layout.
