"Emphasis", "Strong", or "Subtle Reference".
Styles can be applied to characters or paragraphs using either the Text
context toolbar or the Text Styles tab. Both paragraph and character
styles can be managed from the Text Style Palette.
Paragraph and character styles
A paragraph style is a complete specification for the appearance of a
paragraph, including all font and paragraph format attributes. Every
paragraph in PagePlus 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 Styles drop-down list 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.

On the Text context toolbar, click the arrow to expand the Styles
drop-down list and select a style name.
