Use this window to define the styles that standardSage 50 reports appear in. The Report Styles window contains the following tabs:

General

The General tab lets you create new report styles or change or delete existing styles. You do so by first selecting an existing report style name or by entering an entirely new name. Then you choose the report sections you want to appear on the report. You can also choose the font you want each section to appear in when the report is printed or displayed onscreen.

  • Style:
  • To select an existing report style you want to change, use the drop-down list.
  • To create a new style, in the Style field enter a new, unused style name (maximum 30 characters).
  • Show: Select the Show check box for each section that you want to appear on the report. The report sections you can choose to either show or not are Company Name, Title 1, Title 2, and Filter Settings.
  • Section: This identifies each section that appears on a report, such as report print date, company name, or report totals.

  • Font Detail: This indicates the font used for the section on the displayed or printed report. To change the current font for a section, click Font. Sage 50 displays the Font window.

Style Defaults

The Style Defaults tab lets you select the default report style to use for each Sage 50 report area, such as Accounts Receivable or General Ledger.

  • Report Area: This identifies the individual report area.
  • Default Style: This indicates the default style used for standard reports in the report area. To change the selected style, use the drop-down list.

    • Note: If you have installed Sage 50 for the first time (that is, the installation is not an upgrade of a previous release) all new companies you create will have <Standard> Professional as their default report style for all report areas.
