option is automatically used when transferring a graph to the clipboard, but it may

The Table fonts
To change the fonts for tables, the text part of reports and the footer of each
printed page select Setup-Table. The section at the bottom of the dialogue box
shows the font information. Up to four fonts may be used in a table or report.
The recommended use for these font styles are:
. Normal font for table entries.
. Same size but bold, for headings.
. Same size and bold but italic or underlined, for showing values that are out
of limits etc.
. Larger size for titles.

printed page and replaces the other four fonts if Draft mode is selected when
printing.
