The Format menu provides access to stylesheet and formatting tools. It contains the following options:
• Select Stylesheets — Allows you to select stylesheets for Editor display and multiple outputs.

• Revert Stylesheet — Discards any changes made to the current Editor stylesheet since the last time you saved.

Format menu only when FOSI editing is enabled and
full menus are turned on:
◦ Modify Element in Context — Accesses the FOSI Editor panel for style characteristics specific to the element at the cursor's location in the document. Use this panel to change the formatting information for the selected element. This option is unavailable if the current Editor stylesheet was created using Arbortext Styler.

◦ Edit FOSI Groups — Accesses the FOSI Editor panel for configuring user-defined component groupings. These groups provide reference links to the system-defined Components dialog box. Use this panel to create logical groupings of components to suit your formatting needs. You can break component groups into smaller groups or group unlike resources, such as a counter, title element, and page layout. This option is unavailable if the ccurrent Editor stylesheet was created using Arbortext Styler.
