wherever this text shading style has been used in the layout.
Once you have created a text shading style, you can use this style in both paragraph
and character style sheets. Select it from the Text Shading drop-down menu in the
Edit Character Style Sheet dialog or in the Formats tab of the Edit Paragraph Style
Sheet dialog.
Applying text shading
To apply shading to existing text:
1
Select the text to be shaded. To apply shading to an entire paragraph, place the cursor
anywhere in the paragraph.
2
Do one of the following things:
Display the Text Shading Styles palette (Window > Text Shading Styles) and
select a defined text shading style to apply to the text.
Use the controls in the Text Shading tab of the Measurements palette.
Apply a defined text shading style to either a character or paragraph style sheet
and apply that style sheet to the text.
You can select an empty text box or an empty paragraph in a text box as Step1. After
Step 2, the text shading style will be applied to the text as you are typing.
There is a difference between applying text shading to an entire paragraph, or to just
selected text. When using the Text Shading tab of the Measurements palette, there
is a drop-down menu allowing you to choose Paragraph or Text.
