Define the text styles of a document

You can define the text styles of a document using a Style Sheet. You can create and edit this document in KCM Designer, automatically opening Microsoft Word.

Note Microsoft Word 2016 or later is required.

  1. Navigate to Corporate Design and click the Brand you are working on.
    • To create a new Style Sheet, click Style Sheet and then click New Style Sheet in the New pane on the right.

      Enter a name for the new Style Sheet and click OK.

      The new object appears in the Style Sheet folder.

  2. Click the Style Sheet to edit and click Edit in the View and Edit pane on the right.
  3. Microsoft Word opens. You can now edit the formatting styles that are added to the Style Sheet.
    For example, to format the basic text font, the item might be named ITP_normal.
    Note For the list of available ITP_ styles as well as for the information on defining the ITP_ custom styles, see the section "Manage Text Blocks styles" in the Kofax Communications Manager Template Scripting Language Developer's Guide.
  4. Make necessary changes and click OK.
    Changes are applied to every item with this style in result documents where this Style Sheet is applied. To apply the Style Sheet to a document, you need to use a command in KCM Template Script. For more information, see the section "stylesheet" in the Kofax Communications Manager Template Scripting Language Developer's Guide.
  5. Close the Microsoft Word document and save the changes when prompted to do so.

To do so, click the object and then click Download for editing locally in the View and Edit pane on the right. Click Just download or click Lock and download to lock the object for other users. When you finish editing the object in your editor, save it and then click Upload locally edited file in KCM Designer to upload the file from your computer.
