The Profile Property Sheet

When you create a new profile, the Profile property sheet is displayed showing the Details page. This page lets you enter a name for the display profile. This may be, for example, 'My Display Settings'.

If you edit an existing display profile, the Profile property sheet is displayed showing the Format page. This page lets you customise all the fonts and colours of the OfficeTalk display.

The Attribute list contains a list of all the font and colour attributes which make up the OfficeTalk display. Each attribute is represented by three columns

The Window column, representing the specific window associated with the display attribute, for example, the Contact Groups window or the Diary Monthly window.

The Name column, representing the display attribute type, for example, the Column header, the Window Text or the Window Title.

The Mode column, representing the mode containing the display attribute, for example, Diary mode or Contact mode.

Initially, the display attributes are grouped according to which mode they affect. However, you may sort or group this list by any of the three columns. You can sort by a specific column by clicking on the column using the left mouse button. You can group by a specific column by clicking on the column whilst holding down the Shift key.

If you select an attribute from the list, the attribute's properties will be displayed down the right hand side of the Format page. Depending upon the attribute selected, one or more of the following properties will be displayed:

Property Description
Font The font face used to draw the attribute text
Style The font style, e.g. Regular, Bold, Italic or Bold Italic
Size The font size used to draw the attribute text
Text colour The colour used to draw the attribute text
Background The background colour of the attribute
Justification The justification of the attribute text
Indentation 3D indent or outdent. Applies to window titles only
Graduation Colour graduation. Applies to window titles only.
You may change any of the properties associated with the selected attribute. If you select more than one attribute then any properties that are the same for each selected attribute will be displayed. Any properties that differ over the selected attributes will be blanked. Changing one of the property controls will affect that property for all the selected attributes. For example, you may sort the list by the Name column, select all Window Text attributes and choose a font size of 9pt. This will ensure that all fonts shown in any of the window lists will be 9pt.

If you wish to reset one or more attributes back to their default setting then select the relevant attributes from the list and press the Reset to default settings button.
