Changing styles
l_ To define a new style:
1. Select a paragraph for which you would like to change the style. Word
Processing uses the attn'butes in the selected (or base) style to define the
initial attn'butes of the new style. (You can also start out with no text
selected, using the default text and paragraph attributes.)
2. Change the format of the paragraph to your desired style.
3. Select Text Style Sheets from the Paragraph menu. A submenu appears.
4. Select Define New Style from the submenu. A dialog box appears.
• Description. Shows a description of the selected style, which
changes when you define text and character attributes. The base style
appears first, then any changes you have made to character and
paragraph formatting.
Display in Tool Bar Pop-Down List. Select whether the style
appears in the Tool Bar Pop-down list on the Basic Functions tool
bar. By default, this option is selected.
Apply to Selection Only (Character Style). Select whether you
want to apply the style attributes to selected text only or to the entire
paragraph.
Point Size Relative. Select to make the point size relative to the
point size of the base style. Changing the point size in the base style
changes the point size in the current style by the same amount.
Margins Relative. Select to make the margins relative to the margins
of the base styleT.Changing the' margins in the base style changes the
margins_in the current style by the same amount.
Leading Relative. Select to make the leading (or line spacing)
relative to the leading of the base style. Changing the leading in the
base style changes the leading in the current style by the same
amount.
• Name. Type a new style name. You can use letters, numbers, and
spaces. For example, you could call a style Chapter Name.
5. Click on Define New Style. Word Processing applies the new style to the
selected text or paragrapb.
6. Click on Close.
You can change a style two ways: by changing its attributes (text size,
paragraph spacing, and so on) or by changing the attributes of its base style
(point size relative, margins relative, and so on). If the style serves as the base
style for other styles, changes can affect those dependent styles as well.
