Summary

This was a very brief taste of what can be done with some advanced formatting features in Crystal Reports. Throughout the rest of the hours, formatting will often come up, whereas the most common features have now been covered. There are so many combinations and uses for formatting that giving just a brief tutorial should spark many ideas on how formatting could be used in existing reports and in reports to come.

This is one section of Crystal Reports that has received much attention in terms of documentation over the years. For more ideas on formatting, see the sample reports that ship with Crystal Reports, the online Crystal Reports Help files, and the Crystal Care Web site for more ideas on making presentation-quality reports through formatting.
