Frequently, CAPI applications format
question text using a few specific combinations fonts and colors. For example, 16 point Arial black for literal question text and bold 14 point blue for interviewer instructions. CSPro supports
styles that can be defined and used for this purpose. Styles allow you to define standard formats that are shared between all questions in your data entry application.
By default, every CSPro application comes with the following default styles: normal, instruction, heading 1, heading 2 and heading 3. These styles appear in a dropdown list in the toolbar of the question text editor.
To apply a style to text in the question editor:
- Select all or a portion of the text in the question text editor.
- Click on the styles dropdown in the toolbar and choose the style to apply.
You can modify the default styles or add your own styles:
- Select Edit Styles from the Question Text menu.
- Select the style to modify from the list on left or click on the + button to add a new style to the list.
- Change the font type, size, font formatting (underline, boldface, italic) and color as desired.
- Click OK to save the changes.
All question text that uses any of the modified styles are automatically updated to reflect the changes. Any new styles created are added to the styles dropdown list in the question text editor.
