This style sheet is meant to accompany the set of map templates, ESRI styles, and OCHA Map Creation Guidelines. Text size and line widths are only suggestions, each map will need adjustment to suite the content. For ease of use, the OCHA.style file can be put in <C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Bin\Styles> and accessed through the choice of styles. Alternatively, use the “add” button to choose the style sheet from its current location.
