Crystal Reports: Box and Line Formatting Recommendations

See also: Crystal Reports: Box and Shadow

 

Boxes and lines can make a major improvement to the presentation of your reports. You can use them to separate areas of the report or to highlight different parts of the page.

Lining up boxes and lines can be difficult. One feature to make this easier is to select the option ”Extend to Bottom of Section when Printing”. This will resize the box or line and they will attach more accurately.

Drop shadow boxes or field borders can be a method to emphasize an object. We also like the rounded corners you can set.

Sadly, you can have either a drop shadow or rounded corners, but not both. If you set rounding on the corner you will find that the Drop Shadow option is disabled.

See the next Crystal Clear for a way to display rounded boxes with shadows.
