SUMMARY

To change the default font used by the Report Writer, create an empty report, specify the desired font, and then save the report with the name UNTITLED.FRX. For a detailed description, see below.

This method works only if all of the following are true:

a. Your new reports are created in the same directory that contains the 

   UNTITLED.FRX file.
b. The UNTITLED.FRX file is saved in the FoxPro startup directory. c. The startup directory is the default when New Report is chosen from the 
   File menu.
