Stylesheet Programming

Stylesheets define the layout and formatting of word processing documents. Using stylesheets, document parameters such as the page size, margins, and fonts can be set.

Stylesheets are useful, as they ensure that the style of a document is consistent across all pages in a word processing document and that all documents of a specific type follow a specific style: For example, one stylesheet can be defined for personal letters, another for official letters and a third for reports.

When multiple authors are working on the same set of documents, stylesheets prevent every chapter from being formatted in a slightly different way. Consequent usage of stylesheets ensures that word processing documents follow corporate identity formatting rules.

TX Text Control .NET Enterprise provides a set of methods for programmatically creating and manipulating stylesheets. Using these methods, for example, developers can create specialized templates for various types of documents directly from their application code.

TX Text Control .NET supports both paragraph and character based styles, as well as multiple style inheritance. The stylesheets are compatible with MS Word, and can be used with RTF and DOC files.
