Creating or changing a paragraph style
You can create a style for different types of paragraphs in your document. You can then use this style in the body of the document or in the header or footer, whenever you want to use the same formatting. This is simpler than having to apply formatting to each paragraph. In the eSuite word processor, all styles are created "by example." This means that you must first format a paragraph, select it, and then create the style based on the sample.
Why use styles? explains the benefits of spending a little time creating styles.
- Select the paragraph on which you want to base the new style.
- In the action bar, click Text.
- In the pop-up menu, click Manage styles.
- In the pop-up panel, do one of the following:
- If you are creating a new style, type a name for your style.
- If you want to use the selected text as the basis for changing an existing style, click the style name box and then click the name of the style you want to change.
- Click Define.
After you create a style, the style name is added to the list.
- Click Done.
