Line Tab (Format Editor)

Use the Line tab to set the formatting specification for a line in your report.

This tab appears in the Format Editor when you right-click a line and choose the Format from the shortcut menu.

Style
This list shows all the available styles for your line, such as: single, double, dashed, and so on.
Width
Click the button that represents the line width you want to use.
Color
This list shows all the available colors for your line.
Move to Bottom of Section when Printing
This option is typically selected when you are printing a line next to a field that may produce variable length output (a memo field, for example) and you format that field using the Can Grow (Common tab/Format Editor) option. In this case, if the program needs to grow the section to accommodate field output, it will grow the line to the bottom of the section as well.

Select this check box if you want the line to always extend to the bottom of the section regardless of the length of the section.

Clear the check box if you want the line to be the same length in each section, regardless of section size.

Suppress
Select this check box if you do not want the line to print.
Repeat on Horizontal Pages
Use this option to repeat a report object that does not expand horizontally, such as text objects, field objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so on, on each additional horizontal page that a cross-tab or OLAP grid might create.
