[GNC] REPORT CONFIGURATION

[Adrien Monteleone]

You can define (add) style sheets for each special instance and tie them 
to a saved configuration.

You can also achieve some of the same results using the General Tab of 
most reports with or without involving saved configurations. (thus the 
rest of the style sheet stays the same)

You can also export to a spreadsheet and modify from there, with various 
spreadsheet templates and built-in styles.

Perhaps the General options for reports (and the style sheet options) 
could use some sprucing up. As style sheets should *not* affect content, 
but *only* presentation.

I think what you are seeing is that some style sheet options were added 
to compensate for lack of options in some reports as that was easier to 
code. This is not the best approach in my opinion.

Regards,
Adrien
