Tag: formatting

I’m sure there are many of us who remember the green bar continuous form paper that spewed out of the old dot matrix printers. The horizontal green bar assisted the reader with following a line of text across the page. Often a horizontal line is used in Crystal Reports for the same purpose. But there are times that I find that these lines just add more black ink to the page – and that instead of making it easier to read, actually make it harder. Instead, I’m going to use a background color to highlight alternate rows, and create a differentiation between my records.
