Job Settings|Page Layout

In Setup|Job Settings, you can specify page layout and page numbering options using the Page Layout tab.

Note: Selecting File|PageLayout: Plain Text Reports, File|Page Layout: Enhanced Text Reports redirects you to the Job Settings|Page Layout tab where you can specify the page layout settings for either type of report.

Enhanced text reports

Left margin (inches) - Specifies the left margin in inches.

Top margin (inches) - Specifies the top margin in inches.

Right margin (inches) - Specifies the right margin in inches.

Bottom margin (inches) - Specifies the bottom margin in inches.

Wrap any wide tables onto the next page of the report without reducing the font size (WinCross default) - Tables are not resized and will use the font size(s) selected using the Setup|Job Settings|Enhanced Text Reports tab.

Note: Table resizing options that reduce the font size apply only when Enhanced text reports are saved to *.pdf and *.rtf report files.

Reduce the font size in ALL tables to ensure that the widest tables will fit (If this is not possible, tables will be wrapped) - All tables will be resized by the same amount and have the same font size, if possible. For example, if you are running two banners in the same run and tables run by the first banner need to be shrunk to fit on the page and tables run by the second banner will fit on the page without shrinking, both reports will be shrunk and have the same font size, if possible. If the banner is still too wide to fit on one page after the font size has been reduced, the font size(s) selected in Setup|Job Settings|Enhanced Text Reports will be respected and all tables will be wrapped.

Reduce the font size of ONLY those tables that exceed the page width (If this is not possible, tables will be wrapped) - Resizes only those tables that will not fit on the page, if possible. For example, if you are running two banners in the same run and tables run by the first banner need to be shrunk to fit on the page and tables run by the second banner will fit on the page without shrinking, your report will have two different font sizes. The font size for the table run by the first banner will be smaller because the table was shrunk to fit on the page. The font size for the table run by the second banner will not need to be reduced because the table fit on the page. If the banner is still too wide to fit on one page after the font size has been reduced, the font size(s) selected in Setup|Job Settings|Enhanced Text Reports will be respected and all tables will be wrapped.

Plain text reports

The most recently selected font settings are always in effect until you make a different selection. The Plain text report (*.rpt) is saved as an ASCII text file. When you print the file from other software (external to WinCross), the font settings are not included unless you save the report as an Microsoft Word/Rich Text Format (*.rtf), Microsoft PowerPoint (*.pptx) or Adobe PDF (*.pdf) file using File|Save|Save Report As.

Left margin (inches) - Specifies the left margin in inches. WinCross will automatically adjust the bottom and right margins based on your choice of font, orientation, report width and lines per page.

Top margin (inches) - Specifies the top margin in inches. WinCross will automatically adjust the bottom and right margins based on your choice of font, orientation, report width and lines per page.

Report width (characters) - Specifies the report width for plain text reports.

Use the following formula to help with determining the Report width for your printed report:

Report width = # of banner columns X width of each column (including the space in between) + Row width (specified in Setup|Job Settings|Table Presentation).

Lines per page - Specifies the lines per page for plain text reports.

Select Font - Specifies the Font type, Font style, Size, Effects and Color for plain text reports. The selected font is used for printing using File|Print or File|Print Preview.

Note: WinCross will not allow a larger font than the report width and lines per page allow. The maximum Report width allowed for Plain text reports is 250.

Shared report settings

Show page numbers - Displays page numbers on your reports. Show page numbers must be selected to use the Page numbering override setting in Run|Tables.

Number continuously throughout - Starts the first table with page 1 and sequentially numbers each subsequent page.

Restart numbering with each table - Starts each table with page number 1. If you select this option, you cannot use the Page numbering override setting in Run|Tables.

Orientation - Specifies Landscape or Portrait page orientation for both report types. The Orientation setting here toggles with the Orientation setting for File|Printer Setup. When you change the Orientation setting on one dialog, it also changes it on the other dialog.
