Storing and recalling text attributes temporarily
You can temporarily store the text and paragraph attributes from one
paragraph and then apply them to another without first creating a named
style. To do so, you use the Store Style choice. While named styles are
saved with your document, graphic styles that you record with the Store
Style choice are not saved when you exit Word Processing.

2. Choose TextStyle Sheets from the Paragraph menu.

To recall the text attributes:
1. Select one or more paragraphs that you want to apply the stored
attributes.
2. Choose Text Style Sheets from the Paragraph menu. Asubmenuappears.
3. Choose Recall Style from the submenu. Ensemble applies the saved
attributesto the selected text.
Defining a new style
You can add a new style to the style sheet by giving it a name and
defining its attributes. A is a style on which other styles
depend; these styles are variations on the base style. If you change an
attribute in the base style, all dependent styles will change except those
that define the attribute uniquely.
For example, suppose you define a style called Head Level 2" using
another style, Head Level 1," as its base style. If you add bold to Head
Level 1", the text in Head Level 2" becomes bold. Word Processing
updates all text in either style with the new attributes.
Alternatively, you can define a style so that its unique attributes change
relative to changes in the base style. For example, if you set margins in
Indent Level 2" relative to Indent Level 1," its base style, and you
increase the left margin in Indent Level 1" by .25 inches, Word Processing
increases the left margin in Indent Level 2" by .25 inches as well.
"
To define a new style:
1. Select a paragraph for which you would like to change the style. Word
Processing uses the attributes in the selected (or base) style to define the
initial attributes of the new style. (You can also start out with no text
selected, using the default text and paragraph attributes.)
2. Change the format of the paragraph to your desired style.
3. Choose Text Style Sheets from the Paragraph menu.

You can also define a new style
without using a base style. Word
Processing uses the default
attributes or the attributes of
selected text as the starting point
instead.
