Using text styles
PagePlus lets you use named text styles (pre- or user-defined), which can be
applied to frame text, table text, artistic text, index text or table of contents text.
A text style is a set of character and/or paragraph attributes saved as a group.
When you apply a style to text, you apply the whole group of attributes in just

Styles tab. Both paragraph
and character styles can be
managed from the Text
Style Palette.
