So far, you’ve learned to create simple reports that show all the information you want in a compact table. The only problem with these reports is that they all look the same. If you’re working in a cubicle farm for a multinational insurance company, this drab sameness is probably a good thing. But those who still have a pulse may want to jazz up their reports with borders, exotic fonts, and a dash of color.
The quickest way to apply formatting is to use one of the prebuilt AutoFormats (shown in Figure 8-14) from the Report Layout Tools | Formatting 
AutoFormat AutoFormat list. Each AutoFormat applies a combination of fonts, colors, and border settings. AutoFormats let you transform the entire look of your report in one step, but they don’t give you the fine-grained control to apply exactly the details you want.
Figure 8-14. Click the drop-down arrow (circled) to see all the available AutoFormats. (Or, if you have a really large monitor, the AutoFormat previews appear right in the ribbon.) Each thumbnail preview shows the colors and a bit of the background that the format uses, but you need to apply it before you can really see what it looks like.
Note: Remember, in order to format a report, it needs to be in Layout view. If you double-click a report in the navigation pane, it opens in Report view. Right-click the tab title, and then choose Layout View to switch over.
You can do a couple other things with AutoFormat:
-
To apply just part of an AutoFormat, choose Report Layout Tools | Formatting
AutoFormat AutoFormat AutoFormat Wizard. In the AutoFormat dialog box, choose the AutoFormat you want. Then, click Options to show three check-boxes at the bottom of the dialog box: Font, Color, and Border. Turn off the check-mark next to the types of formatting you don’t want to apply, and then click OK. -
To revert to a plain report with no formatting, choose Report Layout Tools | Formatting
AutoFormat AutoFormat AutoFormat Wizard to show the AutoFormat dialog box. Then, choose None in the list of AutoFormats, and click OK. -
If you’ve applied some fancy formatting to your report, and you want to save it as your own custom AutoFormat, choose Report Layout Tools | Formatting
AutoFormat AutoFormat AutoFormat Wizard to show the AutoFormat dialog box. Then, click Customize, choose “Create a new AutoFormat,” enter a name for your AutoFormat, and click OK. You’ll see your AutoFormat appear in the AutoFormats list.
