Hi,
Most (if not all) of Auctiva's templates have an embedded style sheet with the Font-Family and Font Color. Usually, the sheet has a class name of .acttble and here's an example of the code from the "1925" template:
<style type='text/css'>.acttbl { width:100%; font-family: Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana; color: #5f654b; font-size: 13px; }</style>
In that example, the font-family, color, and size are easy to pick out. If you create a custom template from one of Auctiva's original, look for that code and replace the settings with your choice. Note, the #5f654b is a color code.
That six digit number #5f654b might give you a challenge, but the code is RRGGBB (Red-Green-Blue) with each two digits being 00 to FF for intensity of color, where 000000 is black (all bits off) and ffffff is white (all bits on). Bright red is ff0000. Hope that makes sense.
The text align might operate with that .acttbl definition too. To do left align, add "text-align: left" or for full justify, "text-align: justify", as follows:
<style type='text/css'>.acttbl { width:100%; font-family: Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana; color: #5f654b; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; }</style>
Note, it's possible that some of the templates either don't use the definition or it's not 100% operable.
Which template are you intending to change?
