Applying styles
You can apply styles to text by selecting the style in the Styles panel, dragging the
style from the Styles panel, or copying and pasting attributes from selected text.
To apply a style, do one of the following:
• Use the Text tool to select a paragraph or text block to which you want to apply
a style. In the Styles panel, click the style you want to apply.
• Use the Text tool to click in a paragraph or text block to which you want to
apply a style. Drag a style from the Styles panel onto the selection.
Note: To specify how styles are applied when dragging—to selected paragraphs or
entire text block—see the procedure for setting paragraph style preferences.
• Choose Window > Inspectors > Text and click the Character button. Select a
style from the Style pop-up menu at the bottom of the Text Character inspector.
To set the behavior for dragging a style:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences. Click Text.
2 Choose an option for Dragging a Paragraph Style Changes:
• To apply a style to a selected paragraph only (not to the entire text block), select
Single Paragraph (the default setting).
• To apply a style to an entire text block, select Entire Text Container.
3 Click OK.
To apply style attributes by copying and pasting:
1 Select the text whose attributes you want to copy, and choose Edit >
Copy Attributes.
2 Select the text to which you want to apply the attributes, and choose
Edit > Paste Attributes.
Note: You can also use this method to copy attributes of text that has no paragraph
style applied.
