Text Formatting
The Text format is a representation of information in the special form (grouping and data output, to the specified pattern). Xin Report Designer contains all necessary instruments required for formatting of all information that will be output. The Text Format is the basic tool for formatting a text before output. This tool is a dialog box, which allows setting parameters of format.
