Basic Working Procedures > Text Formatting and Styles

You can define two different sets of attributes for every style: One for electronic help formats (Winhelp, HTML Help, Webhelp, Visual Studio Help / MS Help 2.0, and eBooks) and one for print-style output (PDF, printed manuals and Word RTF).

1.	Select Styles > Edit Styles in the Write tab.

2.	Select Normal, as most other styles are usually based on this style. You will need to edit any styles not based on Normal separately).

3.	Change the font settings in the Print View and Help View tabs. Deselect Same options as help view in the Print View tab to edit the print style settings.

4.	Repeat for any styles not based on Normal – these are styles that are not shown as "sub-branches" of Normal in the style tree.

You can also create completely different layouts for electronic and print output, with a completely different appearance for all your styles in each format. However remember that you can only redefine the attributes of existing styles for each output format. You cannot have different styles for each format because the styles are attached to your text by name. There is only one list of styles, but each style can have two different definitions.

•	Proceed as described above and edit all the style attributes you want to change for each output format – you can define separate font, paragraph, border and background settings for each view.

You can switch the editor display to show the styles definitions for screen output (electronic help files) and print output (PDF, RTF and printed manuals). You can also switch the editor's basic font sizes to emulate Windows' "large fonts" and "small fonts" settings to check how your help will look on users' systems with these settings.

Note that different styles will only be displayed if you have actually defined different style settings for screen and print output!
