Customizing view fonts

In the Browse view, you can customize the font and color of the field and record text displayed in the view, unless the record contains rich-text format. You can also modify the font and color of the record text displayed in the Table view. Changing the text font and color does not affect the record’s original text, which is stored as a rich text file (.rtf) that keeps the original format secure.

When you change the text font and color in the Browse and Table views, the changes are applied to each database record displayed in the Browse and Table views for the current database. For concatenated databases, you can customize the text font and color displayed in the Table view for each database in the concatenated set. This can help differentiate between the databases at a glance.
