Note: If you do not have a custom Word conversion template, see “Copy a Conversion
Template” on page 6-12.
1
In the Report Explorer, select Tools > Edit Document Conversion Template.
2
In the list of templates in the middle pane, select the custom template that contains
the style you want to customize.
3
In the Properties pane, click Open stylesheet. The Word Manage Styles dialog
box appears.
4
Use the Manage Styles dialog box to modify or create styles.
Styles that begin with rg (for example, rgParagraph) are the default styles used
for report components. A default style applies to all instances of a component with
which it is associated. (In the Report Explorer, some components allow you to replace
the name of a default style with the name a style that you create. This allows you to
specify different styles for different instances of the same component.)
For details, see “Create Styles in a Microsoft Word Template” on page 6-18.
