Cell Options command

Underline Type Definition

Select any required cell underline options. Changes made here affect cell underlining for all cells in the current document.

Name

Displays the name for the line style. For standard CaseView styles the name and the type will be identical. CaseView allows the user to create up to 7 user-defined styles.

Type

To create different underline styles to apply to cells, select an underline type and then modify the style, weight, spacing, and display options for each of the lines as necessary. The Sample box displays the effects of the changes.

First underline

Define the style for the first of the underlines.

Position

Type or select the baseline spacing. This number represents the distance between the cell contents and the underline.

Style

Select the type of underline line style.

• Solid: The selected underline type drawn with solid lines.
• Dash: The selected underline type drawn with dashes.
• Dotted: The selected underline type drawn with dots.
• Fine Dots: The selected underline type drawn with fine dots.

Weight

Type or select the line thickness for the underline expressed in points (1/72 inch). Thicknesses can range from 0.01 pts to 12 pts.

Override Font Color

Select to allow the underline color to differ from the font color.

Color

Select a color for the underline.

Second and third underlines

Define the style for the second and, if required, third of the underlines. This option only turns on for double and triple underline styles. All the characteristics of the second or third underline can be different from the first underline and from each other, if so desired.

Offset

Type or select the offset spacing. For the second underline, this number represents the distance between the first underline and the current underline. For the third underline, it represents the distance between the second and third underlines.

Note:When exporting a CaseView document to PDF, a double underline may appear as a single thick underline onscreen (though depending on printer driver it typically prints correctly). Due to screen resolution limitations, the offset may not be presented at magnifications below 150%. To compensate for this, set the offset to 1pt or higher.

Display Options

Select any required cell display options.

Dash Position

Select the orientation of the printed dash within the cell.

• From Left: Prints the dash left justified.
• Left of Center: Prints the dash centered in the cell. However, if a dash distance is selected, the dash will print to the left of the center position by the increment selected.
• Right of Center: Prints the dash centered in the cell. However if a dash distance is selected, the dash will print to the right of the center position by the increment selected.
• From Right: Prints the dash right justified.

Dash Distance

Type or select the distance from the selected dash position. This feature enables very precise positioning of the dash.

Underline Right )

Shade Currency/ Unit symbol

Shades currency sign or percent when shading cells.

Shade Right )

Shades the right bracket when shading cells.

Reserve Space for Brackets

Select this option to ensure that figures in brackets align with figures without brackets. In the event of a negative balance surrounded by brackets, the number will still appear in alignment with the other numbers in the column as a space has been reserved.

Zero as Positive

Displays negative zeros as positive zeros. For example in the event that the calculated value of a cell is -0.00 it will be displayed as 0.00 instead.

Reserve Space for Currency/ Unit symbol

Reserves space for currency signs. Select this option to ensure that figures with currency signs are in alignment with figures without currency signs.

Reserve Space for Rounded to Zero Symbol
