After creating cells on the Header or Footer areas, it is possible to style them using the Microsoft Office like Ribbons and Forms:
Alignments and Borders
There is the capacity to create borders, align both vertically (top, centre, bottom) and horizontally (centre, right, left), assign padding, rotate the inserted text etc.
Examples of this implementation can be found in the image below.
In certain conditions, alignments may also be controlled within the reference object properties.
Block Align Property
“Block Align” property defines the center point of how your text block should display. If property is unchecked, the center will be assumed to be the first line of text. If property is checked, the center will be defined at the center of the entire block of text. Examples of this implementation can be found in the sketch below.
This property is available for “Point Data Text”, “Range Data Text” reference objects.
Text inserted in the cells can be formatted as in any other Windows application. Choose the desired font, font size, colour, rotation, if the text will be bold, in Italics etc. from the format area on the Design section of the ribbon.
It is important to note the following:
- Formatting can only be reflected on the preview for cells displaying data
- When a rotation is assigned to text this is ONLY visible in the Preview window, NOT on the Header or Footer working space of the Template.
- By pressing the little arrow on the right hand corner of the format area on the Design section of the ribbon the Format Cells window is displayed. This gives access to additional options:
