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.

Style > Character Style Sheet submenu.
• Display the Style Sheets palette (Window menu) and then click the style sheet name
in the palette.

style sheet to the selected text, then if that style sheet has a specified Next Style, applies
that style to the following paragraph. This process continues until QuarkXPress
encounters a paragraph that does not have a specified Next Style. The options for this
feature are as follows:

Style, leaving local type styles (such as bold and italic) intact.
