Font Size in Reports

[bpilarski]

Hi all! Does anyone know of a way to change the font size for a report? We are using an automated report to create agendas for a weekly meeting and some folks are finding the font size hard to read.

I want to know this, too! But I have heard that it is not an option. I don't know why they think 7 pt font is a readable size (I checked it in Adobe Acrobat). You don't want to go below 8 pt for regular reading. Leah Janz Metro Transit

Hi Barb and Leah,

This one comes with a proceed-at-your-own-risk warning, but I did just figure out a way to increase the font size on a report (in this example, the name of a task):

valueexpression=CONCAT("<big>",{name},"</big>")

valueformat=HTML

The result in my browser (Chrome) was that the Name column appeared in a font that looks about 25% larger on screen...but it is not honored when the report is exported to PDF or Excel: the <big>...</big> simply appear as text. Also, since this approach is no longer considered best practice, I'd suggest you apply it sparingly, if you do choose to use it.

Regards,

Doug

Thanks Doug - I'll have to think about whether or not to use this method. The exported PDF was my main concern, though. Appreciate your help!
