Figure 243: Condition page for paragraph styles
When you create a conditional style, you are saying “in this condition make this style
look like that other style”. For example, “When typing into a footer, make this style
look like the my_footer paragraph style; when typing into a table, make this style look
like the table_text paragraph style”.
In addition to setting the normal (unconditional) properties of the style, you need to
define which other style it will look like in different situations. You do this on the
Condition tab.
To set up a conditional paragraph style:
1) Define a new paragraph style.
2) Select all the paragraph properties for the style. Do not click OK!
3) Click the Condition tab.
4) Select the Conditional Style option.
5) Select the first condition in the Context list (left side of the dialog box) and
select the style you want for this condition in the Paragraph Styles list on the
right-hand side.
6) Click Apply. The name of the paragraph style appears in the middle list.
7) Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each condition you want to have linked to a different
style.
8) Click OK.
When the style is selected, you will see that the formatting of your text depends on
the context.
