LC Macro Contribution #20
Contribution 'Allows change of ReportFontSize entry in ChemStation.ini'



Revision History
----------------

  1. A.01  Original Version for ChemStation B.01.01  14-Aug-07
  

Contribution Purpose
--------------------
    

This user contributed macro changes the ReportFontSize entry in ChemStation.ini to obtain larger or smaller font size for the text section of the report.

Use of this macro avoids the danger of inadvertently changing other values in ChemStation.ini and thus putting ChemStation's installation at risk.



Contribution Structure
----------------------

This macro is a set of files, containing...

  	  	- reportfontsize.mac
		- readme.txt 


Prerequisites
-------------

- MS operating system as required by the revision of the 
  ChemStation in use 
- The ChemStation software, Rev. B.01.01 or higher



Installation
------------

Copy the file reportfontsize.mac into the <installation_path>\core directory,
where <installation_path> represents the installation path of your\
ChemStation. Per default this is C:\chem32.


Use
---


1. Open the file reportfontsize.mac with Notepad.
2. Locate the line that reads:
   SetPrivateProfileString "pcs","reportfontsize","x","chemstation.ini"
   where x is the value the ReportFontSize entry will obtain when the macro
   is executed.
   Verify that x is the desired value, otherwise change x to the desired value 
   and save the change.
3. Start a ChemStation session (online or offline). In the command line type:

   macro reportfontsize.mac, go

   Then press the Enter key.
   The new value of ReportFontSize entry will be displayed below the command 
   line.
4. Close the ChemStation. The settings will become active at next start of the
   ChemStation


Operation Overview
------------------

Execution of the macro only changes the ReportFontSize entry of the
ChemStation.ini file, thus avoiding to edit the ChemStation.ini file
manually. This entry controls the font size of the text sections of the
report, but does not influence the content and results in the report.
The macro is not executed by any part of the ChemStation code, but only when
the user manually calls the macro according to the operation instructions
given above.

Requalification of the ChemStation therefore is not necessary.
