Small Caps

[omaha01a]

Is there anyway to do Small Caps, as is done in Word, in Crystal?

There is UpperCase, lowercase, and propercase available in 9 and above.

If you want your field to be all uppercase:

Uppercase({fieldname})

Lowercase:
Lowercase({fieldname})

Propercase:
Propercase({fieldname}) = Omaha01a

You could reduce the font size. Why not explain what you are trying to do? We have no context--is this for an entire field, or some portion of a field or formula? Please show some sample data.

-LB

I can't really do it with the fonts used here. If you type a word in Microsoft Word, highlight it and choose Small Caps for the effect. You get a large cap for the first letter and small caps for the other letters of the word.

You didn't answer my questions. If this is one field, you could parse the letters and use HTML tags to reduce the font size of some letters, e.g.

-LB

I'll try that. Thanks

Just download a font which emulates this, as in:

There are many out there, some are free.

This is usually the preferred method as smaller fonts don't look the same.

Omaha01a, I do not see any smallcaps functionality listed for Crystal Reports. I would take lbass' suggestion and give it a try. Otherwise you could get around it with a formula taking the first letter out of your passage and making it captial and then taking the rest of the field minus the first letter and applying caps (uppercase) to it but then making the font smaller.

Whatever you try, also check how it looks on the intended printer (or printers). Unlike Word, Crystal can't be trusted to look the same when printed as it did on the screen.
