In the Negatives list, how the negative values appear on your report
are determined by the Windows locale settings. The negative values
are represented by either a minus sign or brackets.

In the Show Zero Values as list, the dash symbol is automatically
selected to represent zero values on your report.

On the Currency Symbol tab of the Custom Style dialog box, the
currency symbol is positioned on the left-side of the currency and
numeric values.

Note:

Changes made to the Windows locale settings are implemented only after
you exit and restart Crystal Reports.

Repeating report objects on horizontal pages

Some report objects, such as cross-tabs and OLAP grids, can expand
horizontally over a number of pages. Crystal Reports lets you designate
other report objects that don't expand horizontally, such as text objects, field
objects, OLE objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so on, to be repeated
on each additional horizontal page that the cross-tab or OLAP grid creates.
For example, if your report's page footer includes an image, a text object,
and a page number, you can use the Format Editor to make Crystal Reports
repeat these objects on each horizontal page.

To repeat objects on horizontal pages

1.

Right-click the report object you want to repeat.

2.

On the shortcut menu, click Format Field, or the appropriate format
option.

Note:

Formatting options are not available if the object you select is connected
to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Repository. For information about
