Text Styles
Text Styles are a powerful way to alter the appearance of text throughout a document with a few
clicks.
A Text Style is a named collection of attributes, such as font, size, color, line spacing and other text
attributes. For example, the main heading at the top of this document might have a style called 'Heading
1', the smaller sub-heading, such as for this section, and all other equivalent section headings, a Style
called 'Heading 2'.
By updating the definition of 'Heading 2', say, to be a different font, then every similar heading throughout
the document will be updated instantly.
Similarly the main text, sometimes called the 'body text' of a document is also a particular style, which
Web Designer Premium calls the "Normal text" style. By updating that style to be, say, 12 point Times
New Roman, then all "Normal text" throughout the document can be changed in one go, without having
to select and apply the same font change over and over again.
Text Styles
are, therefore, rather like the "Named Colors" feature that Web Designer Premium also supports, where
you can update "Theme Color 1" to be a new color and all parts of the document using that Named
Color take on the new color.
Text Styles InfoBar
There is a Styles drop-down menu on the Text Tool InfoBar,
that allows you to create Styles, apply them to any text, and to update the definition of the Style.
By default there is a small set of pre-defined Styles, including 'Normal text' and three heading styles,
Heading 1 to Heading 3.
Paragraph Style and Character Style
Text Styles
comes in two varieties. Paragraph Styles apply to whole paragraphs, and are also typically used for
headings. It's not possible to apply a Paragraph Style to a smaller section than a paragraph, so you
cannot, for example, apply a Paragraph Style to a single word within a paragraph. If you try, then the
whole surrounding paragraph will take on this Style.
Just place the text cursor anywhere on the line and select a Paragraph Style from the Style menu, and the
whole paragraph will take on that Style.
Character Styles, on the other hand, can be applied to any selection of text, from a single character
upwards. For example, if you wanted to highlight certain words in your text in a different color a
