Ah yes! Thank you ND!
Your attachment jogged my memory about there being another editable 
menu. It works!

It's so confusing that configurable style sheet items are in two 
locations. In case anyone else has similar issues, below are where to 
find these editable properties.

 From the menu:
Edit/Style Sheets: Colors, Fonts, General, Images, Tables
Edit/Report Options: Display, Display Columns, General, Layout (has 
editable CSS script)
