When a paragraph style is in use in a

document, the style name appears on the

Apply Style

menu (Figure 173) near the left

end of the formatting bar, to the right of the

Styles and Formatting

icon. You can select

styles from this menu, just as you can from

the Styles and Formatting window.

To apply a style from this menu, click on the

desired style or use the up or down arrow

keys to move through the list, then press

Enter

to apply the highlighted style.

Tip

Select More... at the bottom of the list to open the Styles and

Formatting window.

The format paintbrush can be used to apply a certain paragraph style

to another paragraph (or group of paragraphs). Start by placing the

cursor inside the paragraph you want to copy, then press the Format

paintbrush icon in the standard toolbar. The cursor changes into

an ink bottle. Select now the paragraphs to which you want to apply

the copied style. Note that it is not required to select the whole

paragraph.

Example: Applying a paragraph style

Let's see the three methods described above in action with an example.

1) Create a new document (choose File > New > Text Document

or press

Control+N

2) Type the words Heading 1 in the new document, but do not press

Enter

so that the cursor remains in that same line where you

typed.

3) Click the Styles and Formatting icon located on the

Formatting Bar or press the

F11

key. This opens the Styles and

Formatting window (Figure 174).

4) Make sure the window is showing the

Paragraph Styles

section—

click on the top-left icon of the Styles and Formatting window .
