Removing conditional styles
There are two ways to remove conditional styles from text to which they have been
applied:
• To remove the conditional styles from the selected paragraphs and revert the text to
its underlying paragraph style sheets, choose Revert to Base Style from the Conditional
Styles palette menu.
• To remove the conditional styles from the selected paragraphs and leave the styling
applied by the conditional styles in place, click No Conditional Style in the
Conditional Styles palette or choose Resolve Conditional Style from the Conditional
Styles palette menu.
Using conditional style markers
If there is no natural aspect of a text flow (such as a particular character or the end of
a sentence) where you can stop or start the application of a conditional style, you can
insert a zero-width character called a conditional style marker. For example, assume you
have a plain text file that contains a series of multi-paragraph articles, each with a
one-paragraph headline. You can still use conditional styles to format them, like so:
1
Insert a conditional style marker at the beginning of each headline. To insert a
conditional style marker, choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Conditional
Style Marker.

2
Create a conditional style that applies the Headline paragraph style sheet to the first
paragraph and the Body style sheet until the next occurrence of a conditional style
marker. At the bottom of the Edit Conditional Style dialog box, check Repeat
Conditional Style At and select Conditional Style Marker.
