How to highlight only Text and Not Entire Field Printed From: Crystal Reports Book Category: Crystal Reports 9 through 2020 Forum Name: Technical Questions Forum Discription: Formulas, charting data, Crystal syntax, etc. URL: http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22738 Printed Date: 02 May 2024 at 6:04am Topic: How to highlight only Text and Not Entire Field Posted By: JohnH1976 Subject: How to highlight only Text and Not Entire Field Date Posted: 04 Mar 2019 at 7:31am Hello: I have a field that stretches the entire width of the page, about 7.5". If I add a highlight (color background) to the field, the entire field receives the highlight, regardless of the length of the data in the field. How can I highlight just the returned data? Replies: Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 04 Mar 2019 at 10:18am Just the 'Returned Data'? Please explain. Posted By: JohnH1976 Date Posted: 04 Mar 2019 at 12:20pm It's simply the contents of the field. I'm looking to highlight just the information that gets returned, not the entire space allotted to the field. Posted By: DBlank Date Posted: 05 Mar 2019 at 3:22am I am not seeing anyway to do this. I thought maybe through HTML but that didn't seem to work in my tests. Can you just change the font color rather than the background color? Posted By: Valert16 Date Posted: 05 Mar 2019 at 8:09am Try this Right click the field --> Format Field... --> Border --> Tight Horizontal Posted By: DBlank Date Posted: 05 Mar 2019 at 8:12am Nice Valert16, never needed to use that attribute before. Thanks for sharing. Posted By: JohnH1976 Date Posted: 05 Mar 2019 at 10:11am Valert16, thank you so much!
