• 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.

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.

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.
