Discover how to view and edit Styles using Layout Manager.

Styles determine the appearance of all the text displayed in OLIB screens. The Style names in use describe the function for which those styles have been produced. Although the styles have functional names there is no requirement to use them for those functions, although to do so will maintain consistency in data display. For example, the OLIB Label style can be used on an attribute, as the OLIB Edit Box style can be used on a label.
