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).
It is necessary to use styles to format your reports (MS Word) as the definition of the style 'Normal' style available with Word can vary from workstation to workstation. It is therefore necessary to define specific styles named other than Normal' to control formatting.
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.
HOPEX reports (MS Word) include styles.
The names of the styles provided in the default style sheet 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.
