We are using Crystal Reports 11. &nbsp;Is it possible to conditionally format the font size in a report? For example, if a name has more than a certain number of characters, change the font to a smaller size so it will fit in the same space as a shorter name. &nbsp;I have found many suggestions about conditional color changes, but nothing about font size. &nbsp;Thanks.

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
