colours for specific jobs
To alter colours, first click on the wording you wish to change, then click on a colour in the colour box. The Foreground and Background radio buttons determine whether you're changing foreground or background colours. You can press the Reset button if you want to revert to standard defaults.
Press the buttons to force your search words to be shown in bold, italics, etc.
The same colours, or equivalent shades of grey, will appear in printouts, or you can set the printer to black and white, in which case any column not using "plain text" colour will appear in italics (or bold or underlined if you have already set the column to italics).
The Reset button lets you restore colours to factory defaults.
The Advanced colour settings button lets you set some other colours for word clouds, plots, percentage columns, lemmatised, matched and marked words:
