| Margins |
Set the top, bottom, left, and right margins for the pages of the reports. |
| Paper Size |
Select either a predefined paper size or select Custom Size from the drop-down list. For Custom Size, you must specify the page Width and Height. |
| Text Styles |
Each rich text format report contains four different styles of text: Title, Header, Section Headings, and Body. You can specify font name, font size, color, bolding, underlining, etc., for each of the four different text styles. To change the text for one of the text styles, click the […] button to the left of the text box. Make any desired changes in the standard Font dialog box and click OK. Changes will be reflected in the corresponding text box. |
| Default Destination |
There are four options for the default destination of the reports. The option selected here will be the selected option when one of the Analysis and Design modules is invoked. However, the output destination may be changed in each of those modules on a report by report basis. For the default destination, select one of the following:
- Screen - reports are previewed on the screen in a non-editable viewer. The viewer has toolbar buttons that allow printing, zooming in and out, navigating through the pages of the report, and closing the preview.
- Printer - reports are sent directly to the printer without previewing.
- Text File - report information is sent to a file. The user can choose between a simple text file (.txt) or a comma-separated value files (.csv). This is the only option that does not use the other user selected report styles. One font is used for all sections of the report and all formatting is removed. However, commas are in place to separate table columns so that the file can be imported into a spreadsheet program.
- Viewer File - reports are saved to the Virtual Print Engine file format (.vpe). These files can only be opened with vpeview.exe, which is distributed with the RAM Structural System and installed in the same directory as the program executables. This format allows reports to be saved and later viewed on-screen outside the RAM Structural System.

| Include Company Logo in Report Header |
A company logo can be included in the upper, left-hand corner of each page of the reports if this option is selected. The logo to be included must be named logo.bmp or logo.jpg and placed in the same directory as the RAM Structural System program executables. The RAM Structural System logo is distributed with the program and can be replaced as needed. The size of the bitmap is irrelevant as it will be scaled appropriately. |
