Use cascading style sheets (CSS) to define global formatting parameters that can be applied to any number of templates. It is therefore possible, for example, to have a set of completely different page layouts that all have green, 12-point Arial question texts, and to change them all to blue, 14-point Times New Roman question texts simply by changing the specification for the question text in the CSS.

Cascading style sheets simplify the content of your templates by placing tags that are common to all templates in [INSTALL_FOLDER]IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\Interviewer Server\ Projects, rather than repeating them in every template. This makes it easy to keep the templates up to date if you change the color, font or point size of the text.

You will probably need to copy the .css files to the appropriate locations on your web servers if they are to be picked up during interviews.
