• Name: Enter a name in this field, or the application will use a 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.
• If you define a keyboard equivalent for a style sheet with a key sequence that also
defines an existing command, the style sheet command will override the existing
command when the Text Content tool is selected and a text box is active.
• Based on: To base the attributes of a new style sheet on an existing one, click the
Based on drop-down menu and choose a style sheet from the list. Note that if you
use the Based on drop-down menu in the Edit Paragraph Style Sheet dialog box to
base a style sheet on an existing one, changes you make to the original style sheet are
automatically applied to those based on it.
• Next Style: To select a transition from one paragraph style sheet to another after
entering a carriage return, choose a paragraph style sheet from the Next Style
drop-down menu.
• Style: To associate a character style sheet with the paragraph style sheet, choose an
option from the Style drop-down menu in the Character Attributes area. To create
a character style sheet, see "Creating and editing character style sheets."
Next, use the Formats, Tabs, and Rules tabs to specify additional attributes for your
paragraph style sheet. 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 paragraph style sheet, it
is listed in the Paragraph Style Sheet submenu (Style menu) and also in the Style
Sheets palette.
When you create a style sheet with no projects open, that style sheet becomes part of
the default style sheet list and is included in all subsequently created projects. When
you create a style sheet with an project open, that style sheet is included only in the
active project's style sheet list.
To create a paragraph style sheet based on formatted text, first place the text insertion
point within a paragraph that uses the format attributes that you want in your
paragraph style sheet. Choose Edit > Style Sheets to display the Style Sheets dialog
box. Choose New > Paragraph and enter a name in the Name field. Click Save. Then
apply the new style sheet to the paragraph. When you check the preference "Apply
Style Sheet after creation" the style sheet gets automatically applied to the paragraph
you have currently selected.
Updating paragraph style sheets
When you place the cursor in a paragraph 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 > Paragraph.
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.
