Ruler/Grid Tab, Report Properties Dialog Box (Report Builder)

  • Artículo

Allows you to configure the ruler and layout grid in the Report Designer or Label Designer.

This tab is pre-selected when you choose Set Grid Scale from the Format menu.

Note

This tab replaces the functionality of the native Visual FoxPro Set Grid Scale Dialog Box when the Report Builder is active.

You can set the default ruler and layout grid settings for newly created report and label layouts on the Reports tabs in the Options dialog box. For more information, see Reports Tab, Options Dialog Box.
