To update a named style using the properties of existing text:
1. Make any desired changes to some text that uses the named style as
shown in the Styles box.
2. Choose Update Text Style from the Format menu.
OR
Click the arrow on the Styles box and select the current style name again
from the list. Click OK to confirm the option to "Update the style to
reflect recent changes."
All text using the named style, throughout the site, takes on the new
properties.
To define a new style using the properties of existing text:
1. Format the text as desired.
2. To define a character style, select a range of reformatted text. To define a
paragraph style, deselect text but leave a blinking cursor (insertion point)
within the newly formatted section.
3. Type a new style name into the Styles box and press Enter.
The new style is defined with the properties of the selected text.
New styles in WebPlus are actually just modified styles, stored under
new names. Every new style is derived from a previously defined base
style, and so consists of all the base style's unchanged attributes as
well as any attributes you've redefined.
To modify an existing style or define a new one using a dialog:
1. Choose Text Style Palette... from the Format menu.
2. To modify an existing style, select the style name and click Modify....
OR
To create a new style, click Create....
3. Use the Style Properties dialog to define (or change) the style name, base
style, and following style. Click the Attributes button to access dialogs
that let you specify any text attributes you want to include in the style
definition.
4. Click OK to accept style properties, or Cancel to abandon changes.
5. Click Apply to update text, or click Close to maintain the style in the site
for future use.
