Customizing Styles
Presentation
Word styles allow you to format object descriptors and reports (MS Word). The style names indicated in object descriptors are included when inserting the descriptors into reports (MS Word) or report templates (MS Word).
Styles
A style is a combination of formats that you can apply to a paragraph of text in a word processor. Styles allow you to systematically apply formats such as fonts, margins, and indents.
MEGA reports (MS Word) include styles. The names of these styles are prefixed with “M-”. These styles are based on the “M - Normal” style, which is identical to the MS-Word “Normal” style. The only difference is the character color, which is blue.
To modify the font used for all the “M -” styles, modify the font of “M - Normal”.
Style sheet
The styles (character and paragraph format, etc.) are defined in a style sheet (which is a Word document template).
Default style sheet
The default style sheet used by report templates (MS Word) and object descriptors is “Megastyl620.dot”. It is located in the Mega_Std folder. It is recommended to use this style sheet.
Specifying a style sheet
To change the default style sheet:
1. From MEGA menu bar, select Tools > Options.
2. Expand the Documentation folder.
3. Select Reports (MS Word) and in MEGA style sheet field indicate the name of the document template you want to use as the document template style sheet.
Use of the same style sheet is recommended for descriptors, report templates (MS Word) and reports (MS Word).
