Hi Larry,

You can turn the report controls toolbar on under the view menu - If it doesn't come back next time you edit a report it's probably a resource file issue. Make sure resource file is turned on under tools options file locations.

As for changes to font and style I don't think there is a toolbar button available for this (if there was you could add it to the report toolbar)

VFP's report writer hasn't changed much since 2.x and I suspect the same applies to the format menu as well (I tried creating a quick menu to grab the code that runs the format menu option but it is not included in the quick menu list :(
