Why standard macros ?
These macros are defined to let the user customize the appearance of anyHyperGuide , which uses the standard macros. For example one user has a screen size of 640x400 and another 800x600, so these two user needs different font sizes for the different sections of a HyperGuide document. The first one sets the title font size two 15 pixel and the second user perhaps to 24 pixel.

Current standard macros :

Default Macro File
For each HyperGuide object, the hyperguide.datatype tries to load the `Default.hgm' macro file. This have to be in the directory configured by the HyperGuide prefs file. If you haven't set a macro directory, it have to be in the `Help:HyperGuide' directory.
