Banner Text
- Select Setup|Banners|Edit
Banner to enter banner text.
- Select the number of banner columns
by incrementing or decrementing the counter for Number
of columns and choose Apply.
- Banner columns are displayed with
a column number, dashed line (default is 10) and a default significance
indicator (i.e. A, B, C, etc.) in a table-like grid with cells.
- Enter banner text for each banner
column by clicking in the cell below the column number. You can enter
multiple lines of text in a cell by selecting the Enter
key after entering a line of text or by allowing WinCross to wrap
appropriately based on the column width. Banner text is left-justified
by default - see Cells
Menu (Edit Banner).
- It is easiest to work from the bottom
up when entering banner text and inserting new rows.
- You can use the justify options on
the Cells Menu to change how
banner text is justified.
- You can also right-click in the banner
cell and use one of the right-click content menu options (Cut,
Copy, Paste
and Multi-Paste). The Multi-Paste option will paste text
from a list (either one column wide or one row high from Excel) into
adjoining cells in the banner.
- You can enter new rows in the banner
or delete existing rows by selecting the Rows menu.
- You can merge cells in the banner
to add a heading over a group of banner columns by first adding a
row above the cells using the Insert
at Current Row option from the Rows menu on the Banner Editor dialog box.
- Highlight the cells you want to merge
and select the Merge Selected Cells
option from the Cells
menu on the Banner Editor
dialog box.
- Enter the appropriate heading text
and underlining in the new merged cell. Use the Center
Justify option of the Cells
menu to center the heading text and underline.
