Hello,
The "report" style appears to be automatically applied to a Template (which make sense). However, I would like to specify the following "preferences list" for the font: "Helvetica", "Arial", "Verdana", "Microsoft Sans Serif". With "standard" HTML/CSS I can accomplish this in a .css file by defining:
body { font: "Helvetica", "Arial", "Verdana", "Microsoft Sans Serif" }
but I see no way to do specify such a list in the report Property Editor. If I can't specify a preferences list for the "report" style, how can I specify that a .css file is to be applied to a report that will override the "report" style?
Thank you.

1) Go to the outline, open the styles section, and double click on the report style. You'll see the default settings. The marker to the left of the section is really what shows that a setting has been added, though, things like padding are probably inherited from there, too (you'd have to test that).
2)If you delete it from a report, it'll only be removed from that report. It's defined in the template that you create a new report from, most likely, so you'd need to create a new template without that style if you wanted to not have it by default. To re-add it, you'd just need to copy the style from another report or add it through the styles section of the outline.
I've not tried to see if the preferences list will work for this, you'll have to report back and let me know.

Hi Michael,
Sorry for the 2nd post but when I open this thread I don't see the last items. I've discovered that I have to change from Flat to Tree and back to Flat before they appear. Strange.
Thanks for the info but I'm wondering if there is a .css (or other file) from which I can copy all of the report styles. I see how to view the styles in the Property Editor but I need a way to "get a copy" of all of those styes to place in a .css file where I can then change the font to a list and perhaps a few other items. I found the webcontent\birt\stylesfolder that has some .css files but none define the report style. Is there any way to get a "text copy" of all of report's styles?
Thanks.

You will not find these in a css style sheet. These styles are just example styles as part of the blank template or whatever template you used when creating your report design. All of the available styles that you can use in an external css that will automatically apply to the report design can be found in the list of predefined styles when you go to create a new style or edit a style in the outline.
