     Fonts and Colours for Labels, Data and Headings.

There are up to 20 fields associated with each record. Each field is common across all records in the same database.

Each database can have its own set of labels - or names associated with each field. When a new database is created, the first 6 fields are labelled "Label 1, Label 2,.....Label 6" with the remaining fields named "...."

To modify the labels for the database, simply click the label name and re-key your new label.

Clicking the 'Save' button will save your current settings in your database configuration file ("<dbname>.cfg").

You may specify a publish font, size, style and colour for the labels by clicking the white coloured box located to the right of label 1. This will present a Font screen where you may specify a font, size, style and colour for your labels.

You may specify a publish font, size, style and colour for each individual Data field for your database (click the colour box to the right of each database field).

You may specify a publish font, size, style and colour for the scroll box for each record (click the colour box to the top left of the scroll box).

You may specify a publish font, size, style and colour for the published table heading and instruction text (click the "General Publihing Rules' option in the Publish section of the main DataBox screen).

NOTE: The listing of Colour options for Font selection is initially restricted to Web Safe colours as this is safest for different browser platforms (e.g. Unix). You can however double click the small colour box and select any colour from the millions available in the full PC colour 'swatch'.  Also note, the size of a selected font is "converted" to a "Web" size measured as + or - a value from a base font size of 0. + values being larger fonts and - values being smaller fonts. So a font size of 8 may be converted to a Publish font size of "-1". This conversion is not an error.
