How to set the font of all fields in a crystal report file non-programmatically?

Question

I have some crystal report files, and the fonts for all the fields are Arial, and I want to change them to Times New Roman. I tried to select everything, but when I do this, I can’t install the font.

Is there anyway to set all the fields in the report to a font from the user interface?

Using Crystal Reports XI Release 2

Answer 1

If you select all fields, then CR will disable all options on the font toolbar. However, you can still change all field fonts. Select all report objects that have text (this will NOT work if you select, say, a line object along with them). Then right-click the objects → Format Objects → Font Tab.

All font options should be available there.

Answer 2

The Ryan solution will not work with Crystal Reports 2008. You will need to upgrade to a newer version. I am using Crystal Reports 13.

Select "All" using Ctrl + A. Deselect drawing objects such as lines, fields, etc. Right-click, you will be able to format multiple objects. Choose your styles.

Answer 3

If you already have one object designed as you want, you can use “Format Painter”, similar to that from MS Word: right-click → “Picture Editor” (copy style), and then just click on another object and the style will embed.
