Manage style of reports from one place?

Is it possible to maintain the style of all of my reports from one place,
say by using a style sheet or by applying a template?

Thanks for getting back to me with the link. It is useful but it doesn't
quite fit my requirements. The template approach helps when creating a new
report but what if you already have existing reports and you want to change
their look? It seems overly labourious to go in to every report and manually
change all the fonts, colours etc.
Thanks

something to parse the reports & apply in your fonts, colours etc. using
xpath. The report would have to be published as a new report, but you could
always delete the old one or move it to a new folder.
Obviously if all the reports are different layouts, then this technique
won't be so good as you'd end up writing a parser for each report!

do something like that.
I found an article since posting this question that said that stylesheets
are not supported in this version of reporting services but will be
introduced in a later version. I suppose you don't know which version that
would be?
Thanks.
