 <Text id="mf-17">In the previous exercises we changed a single collection. Now we change all the pages in our Greenstone installation by modifying style and macro files outside the Librarian Interface. First, we format the page so that some other parts are blue. Preview any collection after each change to make sure that it has worked properly. On Windows, macro file changes require a restart of the Greenstone local library server. Stylesheet changes may require a forced reload in the web browser.</Text>

 <Text id="mf-23">The majority of the style definitions reside in an external style file, <Path>Greenstone &rarr; web &rarr; style &rarr; style.css</Path>, and most style changes involve modifying that file. Open the <Path>style.css</Path> file in a text editor, e.g. WordPad (and save a .backup copy). Make the following modifications. You might want to preview after each one to see the effect.</Text>
