Editing character and paragraph styles


    You can change the definition of the default character and paragraph styles, as well as any new styles you create. When you change the definition of a style, all of the text formatted with that style changes to match the new style definition.

To edit a character or paragraph style:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select the style in the palette, and choose Character Style Options from the Character Styles palette menu or Paragraph Style Options from the Paragraph Styles palette menu.
    • Double-click the style name.

    Note: Double-clicking applies the style to any selected text or, if no text is selected, sets the style for any new text you type. If you don't want to apply the style, hold down Shift+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Command (Mac OS) when you double-click the style name.

  2. On the left side of the dialog box, select each of the groups you want to modify. Specify the desired formatting attributes for the style, and click OK.
