hi

header data is the default data or style that you want to be on your smartstyle so let say you have P - as your normal paragraph style, try to put it on the <b>Standard paragraph</b> parameter on your header data. So it is up to you what style would be your default style...hope this could help you

HI

<i>Header Data of a Smart Style

In the header data you maintain the default values of a Smart Style. If you do not assign other

values to the paragraph and character formats in the Smart Form, the system uses these default

values.

<b>Prerequisites</b>

You must define these values in the header data:

Standard paragraph

Default tab stops

Characters per inch/Lines per inch

Font family and font size

<b>Features</b>

<b>Standard Paragraph</b>

You must flag one of the existing paragraphs as default paragraph. To assign this standard

paragraph to a text, you use paragraph format '*'.

<b>Default Tab Stops</b>

The system uses these values if you do not specify any other defined tabs.

<b>Default Font Attributes</b>

These include the font family, the font size, bold/italic, underline, and color. You can overrule

these settings in the individual paragraph or character formats.

<b>Characters per Inch/Lines per Inch</b>

You need these specifications if you want to specify measurements (for example, for margins or

indents) in the style in the measurement units CH (character) or LN (line).

<b>Creating Paragraph Formats</b>

<b>Use</b>

A paragraph format contains information on indents, spacing, font settings, text color, tabs,

numbering and outline. Each paragraph format must have a unique name. In the PC Editor, you

assign these formats to a text or a field (see also Entering Text in the PC Editor

<b>Indents and Spacing</b>

<b>You can set the following attributes:</b>

Alignment (default: left)

Indent

Spacing (default value for line spacing of the first line)

Text flow

Page protection

Use this attribute to determine whether or not to display a paragraph completely on one

page. Mark it if you want to avoid that a paragraph is split up by a page break. If on the

current page (only in the main window) there is not enough space left for the paragraph,

the entire paragraph appears on the next page.

Next paragraph

Use this attribute to link the subsequent paragraph to the current paragraph. Mark it if

you want to avoid that two successive paragraphs are separated by a page break.

<b>Font Settings</b>

If a paragraph format does not contain any font settings, the system uses the default values from

the header data.

You can assign a color from a color palette to the paragraph format. Provided that

the printer driver and the printer support color printing, the relevant text is printed in

color.

<b>Tabs</b>

For each paragraph format, you can define any number of tabs.

<b>Numbering and Outline</b>

You can create paragraph structures with several levels to allow outlines and numbered

paragraphs.

If you want to use a paragraph format as a numbered paragraph format, enter the name of the

paragraph in the field Top outline paragraph. You can set the following attributes:

List

Choose whether to number the list in Arabic or Roman numbers or in letters (field Character).

Left/right delimiter

Enter the character string that you want to be displayed before the actual number in the

outline paragraph (for example, parentheses).

Output length

If you use Arabic numbers for the List, you can enter the length of a paragraph number.

Position of the numerand

Distance between the paragraph number and the left margin of the form window. This

distance is set independently from the current setting of the left paragraph margin or the

indent of the first line.

Character format of numerand

Enter a format for the paragraph number if you want it to differ from the current paragraph

format (for example, if you want to display the number bold or italic or in a different size).

Chaining outline numbers

Activate or deactivate outline number chaining. If you activate number chaining, the number

of the current paragraph is preceded by the numbers of the predecessor paragraphs in the

hierarchy. If you deactivate number chaining, each paragraph has only its own number.

and from here u can know how to create new style

Procedure

1. In change mode of the Smart Style, select the node Paragraph format and choose Create.

2. In the Paragraph format field enter a two-character paragraph key.

3. Select the desired attributes on the individual tabs.

4. Choose Activate.
