Crystal Reports Changing Font Size Dynamically

[PCSAARON]

Does anyone know if the font size of a field can be changed dynamically in CR 8.5? I was thinking of passing a parameter in for the font size and another for the specific font wanted. Has anyone done this already and can shed some light on things? Thanks in advance...

Create parameters {?FontSize} and {?FontType}. Then right click on the field and choose format->field->font and in the x+2 area for "Size" enter:

{?FontSize}

...and in the x+2 area for "Font" enter:

{?FontType}

If you want to change the font and font size for multiple fields, you can select those you want affected all at once and then choose format objects and enter the parameters into the formula fields.

You should also make sure that the height and width of your fields are large enough to accommodate the larger font sizes. For string fields, you might want to set them to "Can Grow."
