Can Parameters be used to adjust Font size in Rpts?

Post Author: KJ7
CA Forum: General
Hi there - we want to use Crystal Rpts to print labels for various tape/media formats.
The staff will select & preview the reports thru a different program/platform - where all the data is entered & updated. (The reports themselves reside on the server, and I'm the one who updates & modifies them, the users simply print, export results, etc.)
The issue is - if we start utilizing Crystal for the labels... the staff no longer has immediate access to manipulate templates (to modify font size, etc.) unless I give them all licenses to Crystal Rpts (which would be costly & not entirely prudent).
I'm a bit of a novice in terms of Crystal & have very little knowledge in terms of parameters, but I was wondering if I can use a parameter to have them adjust the font size?? [That way - they could preview the report - if the text doesn't all fit, they can cancel out, go back in, adjust their parameter criteria, etc.]
Any assistance you might be able to give me would be GREAT!!
Thanks!

PS - I'm working in Crystal 9... it's the version that's compatable w/my other program (ScheduALL)

Thanks - all of these suggestions are really helpful! - one last follow-up:
my users who are testing this are remarking that they often have to go in and re-size/tweak these items a number of times. Obviously, this means re-freshing the preview more than once. Because of the detail of the labels - and the user's preference to be able to manipulate the font size for various fields discreetly, I've created 11 separate parameter fields for font re-sizing (grouping some items together only where appropriate).
So the question is (now that I've set these defaults - and they've over-ridden, some or all of them) ... is there a way for them to go back & revise one or more parameter and still keep the rest of their current settings/changes (without having to re-enter all that info all over again)??
EX: Preview 1:
?Name font >default val: 10 => change to 9
?Title font >default val: 8 => change to 7
?CH1 font >default val: 8 => change to 7
?CH2 font >default val: 8 => change to 7
?spine font >default val: 7 => remains static
?interior label font >default val: 8=> change to 7
Preview 2:
Leave all items the same as above except:
?Name font >default val: 10 => (was changed to 9) => change to 8
Please advise. Thanks.

Microsoft store will provide a download manager (.exe) using your Product Key, which needs to be run on a PC. This manager will then let you download an ISO image to a USB and/or DVD.

I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,
Sterling

Cannot adjust font size under 2008 r2

under 2003 and 2008 users can adjust font size/dpi. 2008 r2 seems to have yet ANOTHER regression and does not allow this.
what gives? why is microsoft going backwards with r2?

Hello,
On July 1st we will be making Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services forum read only. After receiving a lot of feedback from the community, it was decided
that this forum is a duplication and therefore redundant of the
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Forum. So, until July 1st, we will start asking customers to redirect their questions to the
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Forum. On June 11th, CSS engineers will move any new threads to the
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Forum.
Please post a reply to
the announcement thread if you have any feedback on this decision or the process. You can also email
[email protected]
Regards,
Lionel Chen

Any way to adjust font size on IPad

It is give a fit.
Thanks

<Edited by Host>

I'm happy to assist with that. While you cannot adjust all font sizes, you can adjust some system fonts through the following method: Go in to Settings, then General, then accessibility. Then tap 'Large Text'. Here you can choose to adjust font sizes in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages and Notes.
Please let me know if you have any other troubles,

Adjust font size buttons?

Designing our first website in Muse.
I was wondering is it possible to add the adjust font size buttons in Muse for accessibility for visually impaired?
Im guessing its usually done with multiple stylesheets.
Is this possible to achieve in Muse? if so how?
Thanks
Nick

You would find quite a few free scripts that does this via JavaScript but adding this functionality on any website is pretty outdated especially when all major browsers support Zoom In and Zoom Out feature (which also triggers with a hit of a Hotkey) and serves similar purpose for better Accessibility <http://www.ehow.com/how_5661396_zoom-text-google-chrome.html> that a script may or may not achieve most efficiently such as saving of preferences on refresh of a page etc.
If Accessibility is an important objective for your website, you might want to add a line of text somewhere around the page's header indicating the Hotkeys to do so for those who aren't really aware of this feature of a browser. Also have a look at these resources on Low Vision support that most browsers offer today which you would find interesting:

HT2490 where can i adjust font size?

thanks

You need to provide information what program/s are you referring to where you need to adjust the font size. If this is not for a program that has fonts that can be sized then you may need to use the Accessibility preference in System Preferences to toggle a zoom feature.

Help to adjust font size on FORM

Hi ,
I am using APEX to do a online survey, some respondents said the survey form font size (default) is too small to read it clearly and don't know how to make the size look bigger.
Then I realized they are right, the font size of APEX form is predefined in template. I am wondering how to make the font size adjustable like normal htm page. if it is not possible, then how could I put font-size in somewhere to make it bigger?
Thanks in advance,

If you use Firefox with firebug you can exactly see where your fontsize has been set. You can override the standard CSS by either uploading and referencing your own CSS file or just add one inline CSS entry in your template.

Adjust font size

The font in the 'upper panel' is pretty small. When I try to use crtl + the display in the preview pane is adjusted larger, however the font size in upper panel is not affected. How can I adjust the disply size or font size in the upper panel?

Thunderbird 24.4.0

Hello
I`m a Thunderbird user from times after Netscape Navigator. I have similar problem too, while I`m writing emails.
For me is very annoying that it is not possible changing size of the fonts, while is writing an email (like Outlook,...). (yes, I know for the add-on, and yes I know for the settings under options / view, and yes I have small and a big A, while I`m composing an email). But this is not enough for me.
When I`m coping text from the other (websites, word documents,...), the text remains with those settings (and then I have a chaos in my composing email.)
Is it possible in the next releases of Thunderbird make also a font size changer in and not only small and a big A while user is writing an email?
Thank you.

Adjust font size for notes?

is it possible to adjust the font size for the .txt file to be read in the 'notes' folder in 'my computer'. i have synced it to my ipod but becuase of is size and the way the info is portrayed the width is too narrow on ipod thus getting a 'spill' onto the next line. is there anyway to save it as it is in its original .txt file. thank you
Alan

In the text note include some html code. html (hypertext markup language) is what is used to display this web page.
You can Google "html font size" to learn more about it.
Create a text note.
The very first line of the text note should be
<font size =-1>
This will make the font 1 size smaller (it's a minus 1). Make it a + (plus) sign to make it larger.
Add the rest of your note.
The last line of your text note should be
</font>
to return everything to normal.

Can hardly read tiny font on my Juno email page and can't find how to change font size or color, which is light blue.

That's it in a nutshell. I never had this problem with IE, but when I changed to Firefox suddenly there's all my emails listed in tiny blue font. Can't find anything on the Address Bar to change it.
When I open the emails, they're fine--but the page listing them is awful. And light blue font on white background makes reading it more painful on the eyes.

My wife had the same problem. Click on the tools icon in your web browser and go to the "zoom" feature. You can adjust the font size there.

Can anyone help me understand how font sizes work in Mail?

Hi
I am used to writing and sending emails in Arial 10 (on my PC using Outlook) - it seems like a professional sort of size to send to people.
So I have set the Mail Preferences Fonts to Arial 10 for the message font
But when I receive emails, the font is so small I can barely read it. I have a new 24" iMac and just cannot get to grips with keeping font sizes at a reasonable level between applications. And I though Mac was supposed to be joined up....
As I write the text of this posting, the font is a good size to read (although still looks blurred - see my other postings) - it is in Arial which I want.... But I cannot get Mail to wrk in the same way.
I do not want to change the font size to the email messages to a bigger font size, as I want my outgoing messages to be received in font size 10.
Please help me understand how this is all supposed to work in MAC? It was all so easy on a PC!

No, it is one of several unfathomable shortcomings in Mail that you are unable to set a minimum text viewing size. I too have 24in iMac and I have to enlarge each incoming message manually using Cmd+ and this is frankly Stone Age stuff, especially when dealing with hundreds of emails every day. Another very poor alternative is to use Ctrl and the scroll wheel to zoom in but your head will soon be spinning as the screen moves around.
FWIW, I am also dismayed that Apple has disabled the Contextual Menu in 3 of the 4 mail address fields. There must be some obscure justification for limiting CM copy and paste to just the Subject field but I just think it's risible.
And why can't I save a message I have just written to a place of my choosing? Instead I must save it to the Drafts folder or send it first and then Save As from the Sent mailbox. Is this someone's idea of fun?
I could go on about Mail's shortcomings but that's enough ranting for now...

How can I permaently increase the defaut font size in Mozilla

the default font size used by Mozilla is way too tiny for me. How can I permanently increase it?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

How can I increase the browser default font size?

When clicking on 'tools' to got to 'options,' there is no 'option' to be found. Hence, I cannot go to tools to options to content to fonts and colors, and cannot change the default size of the browser. All documents I want to print from a website have the small font size.

Changing the font size or color on the screen/monitor
*does NOT affect the print size
*can cause problems in displaying websites on the screen/monitor
*See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-fonts-languages-pop-ups-javascript (it says near the top '''''"The Content panel contains options related to how websites are <u>displayed</u>."''''')
Print font size is determined on the Print display
*You can un-check "Shrink to fit" and then set your percentage, if you choose, but text may run off the right side of the printed page.
*For Printing problems see -
