Emphasizing Data with Formatting

In simple forms and ad hoc grids, a variety of formatting options help you emphasize certain data. For example, you can increase or decrease the font size and set the font color and background. You can even select a customer color, or save or clear the formatting that you set. And in text cells, you can wrap the text.


Forms Format dialog box

You can select the following options for formatting:

  • Default—Formatting that the application applies to indicate a state (for example, that the cell has Supporting Detail).
  • User Defined—Formatting that you have applied.

Note:

Where formatting styles conflict, the default formatting takes precedence. For example, you might format a cell and then change its value. The default formatting for a change, but not-yet-saved value overrides the formatting that you applied to that cell.
