First of all I would recommend you to download stylemaster pro (30-day demo) www.westciv.com and create a list or crosstab.
Next you make this page offline available by coping the html source to your desktop and remove all javascripts. Next you open the globalreportstyles.css (there are 2 versions one in the bin directory and one in the pat (if i'm correct)) the one in the bin directory is for pdf rendering. Next you open the css stylesheet and remove all comments next to all styles ( all text between /*...*/ ).
You have to do this only once!!.. After this open your edited stylesheet in stylemaster and use the offline version of your list / crosstab and start clicking the items you want to change. Your changes will immediately be reflected in the offline version. when done copy the new stylesheet to the two directories and that's it.... It looks like a lot of work but it isn't.
