Using text styles
You can use text styles to create sets of text formatting specifications that you can save and apply
to multiple paragraphs or text blocks in a document. Text styles help you maintain visual
consistency and simplify formatting tasks.
Text styles let you specify settings for all the type specifications of the Character, Paragraph, and
Spacing options in the Object panel (except paragraph indents), as well as text effects, text color,
overprinting, and tabs and indents set with the text ruler. (For information on overprinting, see
“Printing” on page 375.)
You use the Styles panel and Object panel to create and edit text styles. Text styles appear in the
Styles panel, and in the Styles pop-up menu of the Object panel’s Character options. You can use
styles as part of a document or template. For more information on templates, see “Using
templates” on page 60.
You can create styles for objects as you do for paragraphs. You can duplicate, import, and export
paragraph and graphic styles. For more information on these procedures, see “Using styles” on
page 301.
To display the Styles panel:
•
Select Window > Styles.
Creating and editing text styles
When you create a new text style, the style’s settings are based either on the currently selected style
in the Styles panel or on the attributes of the text selection in the document. You use the Object
panel to enter new settings for the style, or to modify an existing style. In the Styles panel, you can
rename new styles and existing styles.
When modifying a style, you can exclude specified attributes to preserve them when you apply
the style. For example, you can create a style that does not change the font of the text to which
it is applied.
You can also base a style on another style by making it the child of a parent style. For more
information about parent and child styles, see “Basing one style on another” on page 306.
