Each type of object in a RichText report has its own dialog box. When you select Properties from the pop-up menu, the dialog box you get depends on what is selected.
Properties and Control List views The Properties and Control List views are not available for RichText reports. The painter uses the same property sheets as are available to users when they run the report, and controls in RichText reports cannot be manipulated in the same way as in other reports.
Most of the objects in a RichText report correspond to familiar objects like bitmaps, columns, and computed fields. You can also specify formatting for a temporary selected text object. In a RichText report, the objects are:
The whole document
Selected text and paragraphs
Input fields (associated with columns or computed fields)
Pictures
This section describes how to select each type of object and access its dialog box. The user can access the property sheets too if you enable the Popup Menu option on the Rich Text Object’s General dialog box.
