As text

To define the display type of a label as text, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the label and select Display Type from the shortcut menu to open the Display Type dialog.
2. In the Display As box, select Text.
3. In the Tool Tip field, enter the tip you want to show for the text. Then after the report is exported to HTML or DHTML, when you hover the mouse over the text, the tool tip will be displayed.

   If you want to use a formula to control the tip, click and select a formula from the drop-down list. You can also click the <CREATE FORMULA> item in the list to create one as required.

   Note:When the report is opened in HTML or DHTML, the tool tip of the text will be displayed differently on different browsers:

   • On Internet Explorer, the tip text will be automatically wrapped if its length exceeds the maximal tip width the browser allows. In addition, for Internet Explorer, you can manually make some text displayed in a new line by adding &#10 or &#13 ahead of the text when editing it in the Tool Tip field.
   • On Firefox and Netscape, the tip text will be displayed in one line with the maximal tip width the browser allows, and the text that cannot be displayed within the width will be cut off and replaced by ellipsis.
4. Bind some web actions to the label in the Web Behaviors box as required (for details, see Applying web actions).
5. Upon finishing, click the OK button to close the dialog.
