Applying and Resetting Text Styles
The Style Palette includes preset text styles and allows you to save and categorize styles for
future use. If you make a mistake or change your mind on the text style, you can easily
return to the default.
Resetting a style does not reset the Tracking, Kerning, Leading, Justification, and Page Size
parameters nor does it remove any tabs that you created. Resetting a style only affects saved
style settings in the Style Palette. You can also reset all the Text window’s parameters to
their default settings.
