Setting Label Alignment for Siebel Text Fields

Upgrades from: Siebel 7.x using ICL.

Environments: Development environment only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

At Siebel 7.7 label alignment for fields in forms changed. The label vertical alignment changed from top to middle, font weight changed from bold to normal, and text alignment changed from left to right.

If you selected Incorporate Custom Layout (ICL) for the repository merge and chose Label On Top, you must edit the style sheet (main.css) to set label alignment to preserve the look and feel of your previous release.

To ensure Quick Print and Print Preview display correctly, you must also revise the print preview style sheet (printmain.css)
