114 Chapter 5 Working With Styles
To create a new paragraph style from scratch:
1 Select a paragraph of text.
2 Click Style in the toolbar and choose Show Styles Drawer (or choose View > Show
Styles Drawer) to open the Styles drawer. In the Styles drawer, select Free Form at the
top of the Paragraph Styles list.
3 Format the selected paragraph text so that it looks the way you want. (To learn about
formatting text, see Chapter 4, “Formatting Text and Paragraphs.”)
4 Press and hold the Add (+) button at the bottom of the Styles drawer and choose
Create New Paragraph Style From Selection.
5 Type a name for the new style in the dialog that appears.
6 If you don’t want to apply the new style to the selected text, deselect the checkbox
labeled “Apply this new style on creation.”
7 Click OK.
Styles you modify or create are available only in the document you’re working in.
However, they can be imported into other documents or templates. To learn how, see
“Importing Styles From Another Pages Document” on page 108
Modifying and Creating New Character Styles
Character styles are formatting attributes that are applied to a set of text characters
(such as a word or a group of words or letters) without changing the style of the
entire paragraph. Character styles define the look of the text, including font, size,
color, character spacing, ligature usage, baseline shift, and language. If you can’t find a
character style that meets your needs, you can modify one of the existing character
styles or create a new one.
To modify a character style:
1 Click Style in the toolbar and choose Show Styles Drawer (or choose View > Show
Styles Drawer) to open the Styles drawer, and select the character style that most
closely matches the style you want to design, or select None.
