Formatting Cross-Tabs
Crystal Reports has powerful formatting capabilities that can be applied to
Cross-Tabs. The following sections describe some key procedures.
By applying such formatting as background color, borders, and fonts, you
can emphasize important data and create professional-looking,
easy-to-understand Cross-Tabs. For more information, see
Formatting
properties .
You can also use the Highlighting Expert to apply conditional formatting to
Cross-Tab cells. To access the Highlighting Expert, right-click the cell you
want to format and, on the shortcut menu, click Highlighting Expert. For more
details, see
Using the Highlighting Expert .
Changing width, height, and alignment of Cross-Tab
cells
1. Click a cell within the Cross-Tab to activate the sizing handles.
2. Click and drag one of the sizing handles to expand the width or height of
the cell.
3. Click an alignment option on the Formatting toolbar to change the
alignment of the data in the cell.
You can choose between left, right, center, and justified alignment.

Changing one cell affects all like cells. For example, changing the width of
one summary field cell changes all other summary field cells at the same
time.
