I looked through the file carefully and didn't see anything that I would 
expect to alter the appearance of a report, though there are certainly 
modifiers for various components of the software's dialogs. I went ahead 
and tried the file with no modification and saw no change in either of 
the screens that are giving me trouble (output of all reports and the 
scheduled transaction editor.)

I would imagine that, if I knew enough about the nomenclature, I might 
be able to add modifiers to the file to affect the aforementioned 
screens. I'll do some research to see if I can find documentation apropos.
