Using paragraph styles

Using the Apply Style menu

The Apply Style menu lists the paragraph styles that are currently in use in the document.

One can select styles from this menu, just like the Stylist. As an exercise, press Enter, type

some text and select Heading 1 in the Apply Style menu. The text acquires the properties of

the Heading 1 style.

Modifying paragraph styles

The power of styles lies in the ability to modify them to suit your needs. For the next

example, we will need three lines of text with the styles Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading

3. Your document should resemble Figure 4. Heading 1 style should be applied to the word

“Title”, Heading 2 to “Subtitle 1” and so on.
