Schedule Style setting

There is currently only one report style that is installed with the application. It is based on the existing Workbook-S-140 style. The only difference is that the logic in the document has been adjusted to create a multiple set of schedules based on the publishers you have selected. Also, it has an associated style sheet document (CSS) file where the background highlight colour has been set to yellow.
