I need to create Excel report with page footer which will be seen only in print preview and then printed. I am able to achieve it using following properties: net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.sheet.footer.centernet.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.sheet.footer.leftnet.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.sheet.footer.right The desired data is printed in Footer with font settings (Arial, 10pt, BLACK color), but the problem is I want it to be with some different font settings (Arial, 8pt, BLUE color). Is there any way to do it? Would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
