Style Sub-Tab (Style Sheet and Font Display)
The Style sub-tab, displayed by default when you first access the Style/Format tab, provides general options that affect report style. Initially, all reports are tied to a default style sheet. Users with the requisite skills and knowledge can modify style sheet settings, change the style sheet to which a particular report is tied, create new style sheets, or change the default style sheet. This sub-tab also provides options to change the font for the current report, regardless of which style sheet is selected.
Maintenance Connection uses style sheets to define report presentation settings, such as fonts, colors, and heading styles. For most reports, the Default Style Sheet is used and provides appropriate settings.
Change the style sheet setting:
-
Select the appropriate style sheet from the Report Style field.
The Gradient Style is no longer supported. Unless the style sheet is modified, it returns the same results as the Default Style Template.
This option is available so that customers that previously had reports tied to this Style Sheet can make modifications and have them automatically applied to associated reports.
If you know how to work with style sheets, you can modify the style for a given style sheet, create your own style sheet, and/or change the style to be used by default.
-
Click the Apply button.
The window closes. Your changes are saved.
Using the Default settings for fonts ensures that the fonts defined in the style sheet are used in the report. If you want to change the fonts for this particular report, you can use the available fields to make alternate selections.
-
To change the font in your report, select the font you want from the Font Family field.
-
To change the font size, select the font size you want from the Font Size field.

Change the font color:
-
Click the Font Color field.
The color palette displays. As you move your mouse over the available colors, the selected color shows at the bottom of the palette, along with the HTML color tag.
