Format Menu
In the Format menu the following commands are present:
Default style
This is the default style for the entire file.
Points
Use different points to define the font size.
Bold and Italic
Highlights in bold or italic texts from the selected cell or row.
Change default style
There is a default style throughout the file. The default style is used when adding a new row.
In order to change the default style:
- attribute the desired style to a row;
- click on the Format → Change default style command from the menu
All the rows with the original default style will then be shown in the new default style.
Calculate row height
When the text for a row is very long, the Calculate row height command from the Format menu allows the user to view it completely, adapting the height of the row.
To adapt the height of the row to the text, the user should:
-
choose the Data → Columns setup command menu;
-
select the appropriate field name;
-
activate the Wrap text option in the Display tab;
-
recall the Calculate row height command from the Format menu each time it is necessary.
Calculate all row heights
The Calculate all row heights command is similar to the previous one, with the difference that it operates on all rows of the table
Reset all row heights
Restores row heights to the default value.
Page break
At any point in a file, the user can insert a page break
To insert a page break:
- Place the cursor on the first row, where the new page is to be created
- Open the Format → Page break command
To remove a page break:
- Place the cursor on the row with the page break
- Open the Format and deactivate Page break command
Highlight rows with colours
The possibility of colouring the lines will make it easier to find different types of transactions at a glance.
To color the lines or texts is necessary to select them and then use one of the following icons:
The first icon will set the background color, the second one the text colour.
- To deactivate the fill color, simply select the row or rows and click on No colour
- To deactivate the text color, position yourself on the line and select Automatic, in this way the color returns to the default color
No colour and Automatic colour
It is recommended to always use No colour and Automatic colour instead of black and white, because when you set the program theme in the Window Menu > Appearance > Display theme we have the following cases:
- Light theme, where texts are displayed in black
- Dark theme, where texts are displayed in white
If you use a light background colour, the texts will be displayed in black. While if the background is dark, the texts will be displayed in white.
If you chose black as the text color and white as the background, the assigned colors would remain the same. The texts may therefore no longer be visible if the theme is changed. To avoid this issue, you should select Automatic for the text and No color for the background.
When you use the row filter to display only coloured rows, the program displays all rows with colours, including rows that have been assigned the colour white or black. If you don't want to see these lines you need to select them and set No color as background or Automatic color as text.
