The Styles and Formatting window

Styles are available through a floating or dockable window called Styles and

Formatting, shown in Figure 181. This window is at the center of styles management.

Do not worry if, at first, some contents of this section seem obscure while

progressing through this or the next chapter. This guide describes how to use all

these functions.

Figure 181: Styles and Formatting window buttons

To open the Styles and Formatting window, do any one of the following:

• Click on the icon located at the left-hand end of the Formatting toolbar.

• Select Format > Styles and Formatting.

• Press F11.

Tip

You can move the Styles and Formatting window to a convenient

position on the screen or dock it to an edge.

Style selection basics

The first five icons at the top of the Styles and Formatting window select the category

of styles to work on. Click on one of these icons to display a list of styles in that

category, such as paragraph or character styles, in the main window.

To apply a character style to existing text, select the text and then double-click on the

name of the style in the Character Styles list. To apply any other style, put the cursor

in the paragraph, frame, or page you want to modify and double-click on the name of

the style in the corresponding section. You can select more than one paragraph or

frame and apply the same style to all of them at the same time.
