Number tab (Format Editor)

Use the Number tab to set the formatting options for number or currency fields in your report.

Style (Number tab/Format Editor)

From this pre-defined list, choose a number/currency style to apply to the field selected on your report. When you choose System Default Currency Format, the program uses the number and currency formats from the Regional Settings Properties dialog box in the Windows Control Panel.

Note:    You can create a custom number/currency format by clicking the Customize button. Your customized style appears in the style list as Custom Style.

Currency Symbol (Number tab/Format Editor)

Select the Display currency symbol check box if you want to display currency symbols in your currency fields.

Fixed (Number tab/Format Editor)

Click this option if you want the program to place the currency symbol in the first (far left) position in the field. The program will leave extra space between the symbol and the currency if the field is justified to the right.

For example:

$       325.00

$ 401,325.00

Floating (Number tab/Format Editor)

Click this option if you want the program to place the currency symbol as close to the currency amount as possible so that there are never any extra spaces between the symbol and the amount.

For example:

$401,325.00

      $325.00

Customize

Use this button to see more detailed formatting options on two tabs, called Currency Symbol and Number.
