Text Styles

It is possible to set a text style for each of several different categories of text in the report. The categories are:

•Main Header 1 - This is the main title of the report, which appears on the front page of the report. Typically this style might be a large font, bold, maybe underlined and/or centred.

•Compliments Text - This is usually your contact details (or other information that you choose to set under the Compliments tab), which appears on the front page of the report at the very bottom in the last two lines. Typically this style might be a small font, centered. It is possible to effect inline formatting in these two lines, see Compliments Text Highlight below.

•Section Headers - These are section titles within the report, which appear at the beginning of each section in the report (e.g. “Planets in Houses”, “The Humors” etc.). Typically this style might be a medium font, underlined, emboldened, centered, and colored.

•Astrological Titles - These are astrological keyword titles which precede an explanatory paragraph. (If the Show Astrological Titles option is set to “Show None”, then this style is not used in the report - also see below.) Typically this style might be a medium font, italicized, left-justified and colored.

•Body Text - This is the main text of the report, usually appearing as paragraphs following section headers and/or astrological titles. (Note that the body text may also occasionally contain style settings for certain words or phrases which are set by the author, and cannot be changed by the user. These style settings override whatever body text style is set here.) Typically this style might be a medium font, fully justified.

•Page Headers - These are the lines at the very top of each page indicating the report type, chart name and the current page number of the report. These lines appear in the printed report only - they are not visible when browsing the report on the screen prior to printing.

•Main Header 2 - This is the next two lines after the main title of the report, and states who the report is for. It would normally be a smaller font than the main report title.

•Main Header 3 - This is the report author.

•Compliments Header 1 - This main header for the compliments text is appears under the smaller Esoteric Technologies logo near the bottom of the page. Typically it would be medium font, bold, centered.

•Compliments Header 2 - This sub-header for the compliments text is appears under main compliments header. Typically it would be small font, bold, centered.

•Compliments Text Highlight - This style determines the formatting characteristics for any word in the last two lines of the compliments text that is specified to be highlighted (has a colon immediately after the last character of the word). The colon is always printed, and using this style.

IMPORTANT! The header and paragraph text styles in the reports can be changed readily enough, which allows you to be creative. You can change the typeface, font size, color, bolding, underline and justification. However you cannot change the line spacing and you certainly can't control where on the page each graphic, header or paragraph of text will appear. Especially when changing the styles for the front page paragraphs take care that you record the previous settings before making big changes in case they don't look good or work out the way you intended, and you need to revert back.
