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.
A character style includes only font attributes (name, point size, bold, italic,
etc.), and you apply it at the character level—that is, to a range of selected
characters—rather than to the whole paragraph.
Working with named styles
The named style of the currently selected text is
displayed in either the Text Styles tab or the drop-down Styles box on the Text
context toolbar. A character style (if one is applied locally) may be shown;
otherwise it indicates the paragraph style.
To apply a named style:
1. Using the Pointer Tool, click in a paragraph (if applying a paragraph
style) or select a range of text (if applying a character style).
2. Display the Text Styles tab and select a style from the style list.
- or -
On the Text context toolbar, click the arrow to expand the Styles drop-
down list and select a style name.
The Text Styles tab highlights the paragraph or character style applied to any
selected text.
As both paragraph and character formatting can be applied to the same text, all
of the current text's formatting is displayed in the Current format box on the
tab.
