### Applying CSS styles

CSS styles can be applied to web reports formatting their appearance and characteristics. You can create and set up your own CSS styles in JReport Designer or any other CSS editor. When you publish your catalogs to JReport Server, you can include these custom styles with the catalogs.

Styles can be applied to a table, crosstab, or chart individually, or to multiple components or the whole report at a time. The last style always takes effect when more than one style is applied to the same object.

#### Applying a style to a report

When a style is applied to the whole report, all components in the report will take a uniform appearance. You can apply a style in one of the following ways:

- Specify a style in the Style page of the Web Report Wizard.
- In Web Report Studio, click the blank area outside of the report field, then select a style from the Report Style list on the Edit menu.

#### Applying a style to a component

You can apply a style to a table, crosstab, or chart by selecting the component in Web Report Studio and then doing one of the following:

- Select a style from the Report Style list on the Edit menu.
- Right-click and then select a style from the Apply Style list on the shortcut menu.

#### Applying a style to multiple components

You can apply a style to multiple tables, crosstabs, and charts by selecting the components and then selecting a style from the Report Style list on the Edit menu.
