@9@Report Options@0@                           
                                               
Several options are available for each report  
and can be set using the @1@Report Options@0@  
panel.                                         
                                               
The @1@Width@0@ and @1@Height@0@ entries allow 
you to customize the page size to a certain    
number of @8@print positions@0@ (rows and      
columns).  You cannot specify a page size      
larger than 999x999 or smaller than 10x34.     
You also cannot specify a page size that will  
cause any existing report components to be off 
the edge of the page.  For this reason, we     
recommend that you define your page size prior 
to placing your components, but it's not       
mandatory.                                     
                                               
The @1@Spacing@0@ entry specifies how many     
blank lines should be printed between each     
detail line.  "0" will not print any blank     
lines between each detail line (single         
spacing).                                      
                                               
The top margin of the page is defined by how   
you place your report components.  However,    
because you will not be placing components for 
more than one transaction, it is impossible to 
visually specify the bottom margin, so you can 
enter it here, in @8@lines@0@.                 
                                               
The @1@Sequence@0@ settings allow you to print 
the transactions in reverse order              
(@1@Descending@0@) if you wish.  Depending on  
how the report is ordered (set in the          
@1@Select Transactions@0@ panel) this sets     
whether you want Ascending or Descending Date, 
To or Check # order.                           
                                               
The @1@Detail Suppress@0@ allows you to see    
the @8@totals@0@ for a report without having   
to print all of the actual transactions needed 
to arrive at those totals (this is useful for  
printing a report of your bank statement       
balance) by selecting the @1@All@0@ button.    
In some reports, some detail lines will come   
up blank because there was no data entered on  
any of the fields contained on that report     
line, especially on reports in which only two  
of the eight Ledger Account contain data.      
Unless @1@Suppress Blank@0@ is used, there     
would be a blank line (up to six) for each     
ledger Account line that didn't contain any    
data.  The @1@Suppress None@0@ option          
@8@never@0@ suppresses any lines.              
                                               
@1@Subtotal by@0@ is a special feature that    
controls the way "s" type components are       
handled when you are printing a transaction    
report that is sorted by Date.  Since printing 
totals every time the Date changes really      
isn't useful in as many situations as when the 
@8@month@0@ changes, @1@Subtotal by Month@0@   
lets you get monthly totals for a group of     
transactions.  This option has no affect when  
the report isn't ordered by Date (set on the   
@1@Select Transactions@0@ panel).              
                                               
The @1@Output@0@ section let you specify where 
you want to output the report to.  Most of the 
time, you'll want to output it to just         
@1@Window@0@.  When this option is selected,   
MEGA-Check 2 creates a temporary @4@report@0@  
file that is accessed @4@randomly@0@, meaning  
it can be accessed directly off of the disk,   
and doesn't take up very much of your          
computers memory.                              
                                               
More than one output device can be outputted   
to at a time, but at @8@least@0@ one must be   
selected.  If you select @1@Disk...@0@ a       
standard fileselector will appear asking you   
for a filename.                                
                                               
When all desired options are selected, click   
on @1@OK@0@ to make them effective.
