Use the Edit Character Style Sheet dialog box to configure a character style sheet.
First, configure the controls in the General tab:
• Name: Enter a name in this field, or the application will use the default "New Style Sheet"
name.
• Keyboard Equivalent: To define a keyboard command for the style sheet, enter one in
the Keyboard Equivalent field. You can enter any combination of Command, Option,
Shift, or Control/Ctrl or Ctrl+Alt, along with a function or keypad key.
• Based On: To base the attributes of a new style sheet on an existing one, choose a style
sheet from the Based On drop-down menu.
Next, choose character attributes from the lower section of the Edit Character Style Sheet
dialog box. When you're done, click OK to return to the Style Sheets dialog box, then
click Save to save the style sheet. After you save a character style sheet, it is listed in the
Character Style Sheet submenu (Style menu) and also in the Style Sheets palette.
Updating character style sheets
When you select text that has uniform local formatting applied, you can update the style
sheet applied to that text to include the local formatting by clicking the Update button
. Alternatively, you can choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Character.
To update both the paragraph style sheet and the character style sheet applied to text so
that they reflect local formatting, choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Both.
