About creating an ASCII (character-mode) report

To create a character-mode report, you first create a bit-mapped report, then convert that report to an ASCII (character-mode) report. The process will create a new character-mode version of your bit-mapped report; the original bit-mapped report remains unchanged.

After conversion, many of your fields and text objects may need to be resized. Also, graphical objects such as images and drawings will not be included in your character-mode report. The following lists summarize what is supported in each output format:

Bit-mapped

Character-mode

Images

Boxes

Colors

Horizontal lines

Drawings

Vertical lines

Ellipses/Circles

ASCII text

Italicized text

Boldface text
