206 Formatting Text
Paragraph styles and character styles
A paragraph style is a complete specification for the appearance of a
paragraph, including all its font and paragraph format attributes. Every
paragraph in WebPlus has a paragraph style associated with it.
• WebPlus includes a built-in default paragraph style called "Normal"
which is left-aligned, 12pt Verdana. When you create different "body"
text types, they'll have paragraph style names based on this "parent"
text style.
Text Type Paragraph

Table/Calendar Table Body Normal
This hierarchical approach makes for powerful text style control. You can
modify the "Normal" style which will affect all other "child" styles such as
Body and Artistic Body.
• Applying a paragraph style to text updates all the text in the paragraph
except sections that have been locally formatted. For example, a single
word marked as bold would remain bold when the paragraph style was
updated or changed.
• Theme layouts and Pro design templates use their own preset named
styles depending on the template. Sites created from scratch will, by
default, use different text styles when specific text types are entered.
