Report Editor - Add Memo Field
Adding a Memo field allows you to enter larger amounts of text to your report. Just like a Label, a Memo displays text in one color and font. If you want to use formatted text, you can use a Rich Text field. You can also include
expressions in your memo field.
You can configure the Memo Field using the following options:
- Alignment - The report element's text can be aligned left, right or centered.
- Automatic word-wrap - Set this option if you want the text to wrap to the next line if it does not fit into the given width (similar to a word processor software).
- Autostretch height - This option is for report elements with multiple lines, e.g. memo fields. The height of the elements will be stretched to make room for all lines. If needed, the Report Band will be stretched too.
- Autosize width - Resizes the report element to make room for its complete text. If "Autosize" is not set and the text is larger than the element size, text will be clipped off.
- Font - Set the font type, size and color for the text in the memo field.
- Same as band - Uses the same font as the rest of the band.
- Color - Defines the background color for the report element (the font color can be set with the Font button).
- Transparent - Sets the background to transparent.
