Is it possible to do...
* multi-line text
* centered text
easily in Cognos RS 8.2? I havn't been able to find a decent way to do this, but I would assume that text areas would be a common concept in reports and thus have some basic features related to this?
Thx,
Rob
Yep.
Text Items themselves can't be centered, but the Alignment property can surely be set on the container the are contained within.
Examples of some common containers in Cognos Report Studio:
- Blocks
- Cells in a Table
- Cells of a column in a List
- Cells on the Edges of a Crosstab
- Crosstab Corner
Text Items will also be multi-line enabled, by default. Based on the size of the container they are in, they will wrap if the width of the container can't hold the text value to a single line.
Thanks!
