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.
Applying style sheets
To apply a style sheet to selected text, do one of the following things:
• Choose the style sheet name from the Style > Paragraph Style Sheet submenu or the
Style > Character Style Sheet submenu.
• Display the Style Sheets palette (Window menu) and then click the style sheet name in
the palette.
• Use the keyboard command (if any) displayed next to the style sheet name in the Style
Sheets palette.
When local paragraph or character attributes exist in selected text, a plus sign displays
next to the style sheet name in the Style Sheets palette. To remove local attributes, click
No Style and then reselect the style sheet, or Option+click/Alt+click the style sheet name.
Appending style sheets
To import paragraph and character style sheets from a different article or project, choose
File > Append, navigate to the target article or project file, then display the Style Sheets
pane and import the style sheets you want.

but is defined differently, the Append Conflict dialog box displays. You can use this dialog
box to determine how such conflicts are handled.
