Styles and Font Settings

There are many font and style settings to control the look of your reports. In Microsoft Word 2007 and later it's also easy change the styles and Set as Default. You can turn off the font control in version 4 and control all fonts from Microsoft Word. The headings, fonts and even the report cover are now setup to use the Microsoft Word Built-in Style Sets, Colors, Fonts, and Paragraph Spacing.

Styles:

Let Microsoft Word control my fonts and styles: If you want to have one appearance for your reports and another for regular Microsoft Word use then you can use INSPECTEXPRESS™ to control reports and leave your Microsoft Word settings untouched. Anything you can't control using these settings can be set as default in Microsoft Word.
Main Default Font: This is the font that is used for writing the body of the report (descriptions and observations) and the summary report if used.
Section Disclaimer Font: If using the section disclaimer, this is the font that is used. This font is also used for writing the general disclaimer, also known as the 'Purpose and Scope' section.
Footnote Text Font: When using the 'partial narrative' report style, and additional font setting is available for writing related footnotes for selected component descriptions.
