Fields & buttons

For each group box in this dialog (Header, Body, and Footer), specify the default number of rows and row height and the default number of columns and column width.

Also, click the Choose Format button for each section (Header, Body, and Footer) to open the Format Cells dialog for that section of the statement and specify desired statement defaults for font, number, and alignment settings.

Font. You may specify the typeface, style, size, the type of underlining, and the color. By marking the appropriate checkbox, you may also choose to select strikethrough text or all uppercase letters.

Number. You may define how the numbers should appear in the selected cell(s):

  • How the $ or % symbol is to be displayed (none, floating $, fixed $, or standard %)
  • How negative numbers are to be displayed (negative sign, negative sign-red, parentheses, parentheses-red)
  • The decimal precision to use (from 0 to 5 decimal places)
  • How zero amounts are to be shown (0.00, blank, or dash)

Alignment. You may specify where in the cell data should appear, for the horizontal and vertical alignments and the distance to indent.
