How can I customize flextable reports?
How can I add or remove columns from my flextable?
First, use the yellow edit button at the top of the flextable to choose which fields you'd like to be displayed in the flextable. Omit unnecessary fields. Next, you can customize the field names by right-clicking each column header and choosing "Edit column label". Also, you can click and drag the separator between each column header to change the column width.To customize the appearance of the print preview further, you can modify the header/footer and margin sizes under Report > Report Options.If the appearance of the flextable report is still unsatisfactory, you have two options. First, you could copy the entire flextable to clipboard by clicking the gray cell at the top left corner and then click the copy button. You can then paste in an external applicationsuch as Microsoft Excel and format/print from there.The other option, which is available in versions 08.11.01.xx and greater, is XML reporting. In the flextable, when clicking the report button, choose "Report in XML". You can then apply a custom style sheet and thus have better control over the flextable printout.
