Modifying paragraph styles
All of the installed Looks use the Normal paragraph style, and UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper creates a paragraph in the mr Separator paragraph style between all questionnaire items. You can change the appearance of all of the installed Looks by changing the Normal paragraph style, and you can change the way questionnaire items are separated by modifying the mr Separator paragraph style. Similarly, if you have created or modified Looks to use different paragraph styles, you can change the appearance of those Looks by changing those paragraph styles.
However, when formatting has been specifically applied in any of the Looks, it overrides the formatting specified in the paragraph style. Generally, you specify the base formatting in the paragraph style and apply formatting in the Looks only when you want it to differ from the base formatting.
You can change paragraph styles in a document or in a template. If you change the paragraph styles in the template, you can easily apply the changes to other documents by simply attaching the template.
Character formatting
By changing the font and font size in a paragraph style, you can quickly apply those changes to all Looks that use that paragraph style, except where a font or size setting has been specifically applied in a Look. Similarly, you can change the spacing between all questionnaire items by changing the font size in the mr Separator paragraph style.
Paragraph spacing
Note that for UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add-on, the paragraph spacing must be set to zero before and after the paragraph because the scanning software cannot interpret line spacing defined in this way.
Separating items using a line
Questionnaire items are separated by a paragraph in the mr Separator paragraph style. You can add a line between items by modifying this paragraph style. See Separating all questionnaire items.
