Formatting
Each symbol you draw and place on a display has attributes that determine
how the symbol looks. The fill and line attributes that are currently selected
on the Display Window (page 28) tab of the ProcessBook Preference
dialog box are applied to any new drawing symbol. You may configure
these attributes for individual symbols or for all selected symbols as a
group.
The Symbol Formatting toolbar contains buttons for formatting fonts,
colors, and line styles. FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook also includes
the older Formatting toolbar to support backwards compatibility
