HyperCard 2.2 New Report Printing Features (12/93)

This article describes new report-printing features in HyperCard 2.2.

Precision Adjustments for Report Layouts
----------------------------------------
In previous versions of HyperCard, you could hold down the Command key as
you dragged to gain finer control over margins, cell spacing, and cell
size. Now you check the newly added Precision Adjustments box, and save
wear and tear on your Command-key finger.

Save Button
-----------
The Print Report dialog box now has a Save button so that you can
immediately save changes you've made to the template.

Report Item Invert Option
-------------------------
The Report Item Info dialog box now has an Invert option. Checking its box
inverts the item so that it prints as white text on a black field.

Report Item Framing Option
--------------------------
By checking from one to four boxes of the new Frame option, you can set off
an item by drawing a line along any of its left, right, top, and bottom
sides.
