Style Guides
Use style guides to configure document and formatting settings, such as fonts, paragraph spacing, and indentation, and apply them to your general project contents and section contents.
A style guide is a collection of configured formatting options which you can create, modify, save, and apply to a given project. By using a style guide, you can reuse and maintain formatting configurations in a single place instead of updating them one-by-one for each formatting requirement or submission goal.
Style guides store your specified values for formatting settings on multiple content levels, such as globally, for section titles, and for part titles. When you apply a style guide to a project, you apply all specified formatting settings. You cannot selectively apply some formatting settings and discard other settings. For these cases, you must create different style guides.
Style guides are firm-wide settings. Specpoint saves your style guides and makes them available for all your firm's projects. You can select from all your firm's available style guides and apply them to your project.
The platform provides a default style guide, which automatically applies to all your new projects. You cannot modify or delete this style guide but you can copy it and use it as a basis for your A/E firm's custom style guides.
