## Format Editor

With the Format Editor, you can change the appearance of report fields and other report objects. At its simplest, the Format Editor has one tab. Other tabs are added as you select other field types (Date/Time, Boolean, Hyperlink, and so on).

The Format Editor appears when:

- you click any of the buttons on the Fields tab of the Options dialog box
- you right-click a report field and choose Format Field from the shortcut menu
- you have a text object selected and you choose Format Text, Border and Colors, Font, or Paragraph Formatting from the Format menu
- when you right-click a text object and choose the Change Border, Change Font, Paragraph Formatting, or Set Tabs command from the shortcut menu
- when you select a line, or box and choose Format Line, or Format Box from the Format menu.

Note: The formatting options available on the Format menu change depending on the type of report object you have selected.

The Format Editor contains tabs specific to the type of field specified on the fields tab of the Options dialog box, or to the type of field you selected.
