What is the context?


The Meddbase Document Editor allows users to create and edit documents more intuitively, helping you with maintaining the consistency of your documents.  The Editor allows the use of Stylesets - a highly-customisable tool which allows users to pre-define the look of tables, headings and formatted text.

What is the purpose of this article?


The purpose of this article is to explain how to create a Style set and where to use them. This article is split into the following sections:

  1. Defining Stylesets
  2. Managing Stylesets in the Document Editor

Defining Stylesets


To create a new Styleset or edit an existing one, go to Admin > Common Catalogues.

Open the Document Editor Stylesets catalogue and choose one of existing Stylesets or add a new one.

On your right-hand side, you will now see the following options which can be defined and a style set:

Tables

For tables within your document, you can set the style for:

  • Text Alignment
  • Cell Spacing
  • Cell Padding
  • Header Colour
  • Header text colour
  • Border colour

 

Paragraph Formats

There are multiple paragraph formats which can have the following styles set for. These predefined formats are:

  • Heading 1, 2, 3
  • Normal
  • Address
  • Formatted

For each of these formats, you can set a style for:

  • Font type
  • Font weight
  • Font Style
  • Size in pixels
  • Colour
  • Text Alignment

Managing Stylesets in the Document Editor


When in the document editor, you can select the desired Styleset for the document. On the top-middle and right of your screen, you will find new tools for managing Stylesets. Choose one of your pre-defined Stylesets from the drop-down list and a Paragraph Format. Whenever you change your Styleset, the updated settings to paragraphs will apply automatically.

Each document can only utilise one Styleset at any one time.
