Information on style files (STY), fonts and underlining
When to replace your style files
The underlining style in the Jazzit financial statements is driven by style files (STY) in the CaseWare file. By default your Jazzit CaseWare file has the correct styles per your firm preferences. Occasionally it is necessary to reinstall the style files for the following reasons:
-
The style files become corrupt causing unexpected formatting errors in the Jazzit financial statements.
-
Your firm receives a Jazzit CaseWare file from another firm that uses different fonts and/or underlining
-
You wish to change the underlining style and/or font for a particular CaseWare file.
Step 1 - Obtain the STY files from the support website
Identify the required font and underline style and download one of the following zip files. Note: if you are reading this document from a .zip you just downloaded, you may skip directly to Step 2. You will need to login to download the file.
Arial font + column underlining
Arial font + margin to margin (full) underlining
TNR font + column underlining
TNR font + margin to margin (full) underlining
Step 2 - Copy the STY files into your CaseWare file
-
Open the zip file using the File (Windows) Explorer. Locate the folder entitled ‘STY’ within the zip file.
-
Copy all the files in ‘STY’ to the target CaseWare file folder/directory. You will get a file replacement warning when doing this. Confirm file replacement.
Step 3 - Reload STY files in the Jazzit financial statements in Support settings
-
Open the CaseWare file, then the Jazzit financial statements. Scroll to the
Statement menu (Table of contents). Enter
Enable editing mode (
View > Enable Editing). You should see the
Support settings underneath the Statement menu.
-
Click on
Reload styles (STY) and cell groups (CGF).
-
Exit
Enable editing mode by clicking on
View > Enable editing. Your STY files are now replaced. Please read below for further information on fonts, underlining, and STY errors.
For Jazzit Administrators - Underlining
The default underlining settings
Open the Resource centre CaseWare file (KLIB or FRMLIB). Open the Firm Profile (RD) CaseView module. Scroll to the bottom of the document and ensure that the Default underlining is set to the appropriate setting.
Close and save the Firm Profile. When the preparer is in a CaseWare client file, ensure they open the Jazzit FS and click on Home menu > Admin to reload the changed information from the Firm Profile.
Setting underlines for individual CaseWare files
In individual CaseWare files, open the Jazzit financial statements and go to Support settings (as outlined above). In the Support settings area set the underline as required.
Note: If you click on Home menu > Admin per above, the underline settings will revert back to your firm default.
Correcting the font in your FS
Occasionally the preparer may encounter a Jazzit FS with a font that is different from the font that the firm normally uses. This can be a CaseWare file from another firm that uses a different font. This document will detail how to restore the font in the Jazzit FS. Jazzit supports the Arial font and Times New Roman (TNR) font.
Connect to the firm Resource Centre
Confirm that the Jazzit FS is connected to your firm’s Resource Centre. Please see the following video for information:

“All sizes” and the bottom part is set to the target font and
“Use old Size”. Click
OK. The financial statements font will be converted.
Encountering STY sheet errors?
The Jazzit financial statements use styles sheets and cell groups for formatting and functionality. For various reasons a CaseWare file may be missing the appropriate style sheets and cell groups. This causes the financial statements to display style sheet or group file error messages. It may also cause the financial statements to display the incorrect font and/or underline format.
Solution
Reload style and cell groups from the Master template (GENMST).
The most common solution is to reload the correct style and cell group files from the GENMST.
-
Scroll to the
Statement menu (Table of contents) and highlight the last entry by clicking on it.
-
Click
View > Enable Editing to switch to Edit mode.
-
Scroll down to the
Support settings area, located below the
Statement menu. The
Support settings area can only be seen and accessed from Edit mode.
-
Click on the yellow cell that shows the default GENMST folder location, e.g.: C:\Program Files\CaseWare\Data\Genmst\. This will open a select folder window. Select the folder where the GENMST is located and click
Select Folder.
-
Click on the
Update styles and cell group formats button twice.
-
Click on the
Reload styles (STY) and cell groups (CGF) button.
Reloading the Resource Centre (KLIB) style files from the Snackbar
The Jazzit financial statements also makes use of style files contained in the KLIB. You may need to ensure that the KLIB has the correct style sheets. This should be done by the firm’s Jazzit Administrator.
-
Open the RC Update Control (JZUPDATE) located in the KLIB file (Resource Centre).
-
Ensure the JZUPDATE is connected to the update folder (Snackbar). If you see dates under the Snackbar Version column that means the JZUPDATE is connected.
-
Scroll down to the first document entry in the JZUPDATE which is the
RC Update Control and click on the button under the status column. It does not matter if the button has a green tick or a yellow warning indicator, pushing this button will reload style sheets from the Snackbar to the KLIB.
