Unset/undo character styles

Sometimes, you will want to remove the formatting from a block of

text.

You must resist the temptation to do this manually

. This will only

cause trouble down the road. There are three easy ways to remove

character formatting:

• Select the block of text and right-click and choose Default

Formatting.

• If you have the Styles and Formatting window open, select the

block of text and double-click the

Default

character style.

• Select the block of text, then press

Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar

Note

The first method also works for removing manual formatting.

Applying frame styles

Whenever you insert an object into a document, it will automatically

have a frame around it. Some designers like to add frame styles to

introduce variety. For example, you could have two different frame

styles for graphics: one that is centered for small graphics and another

that is left-aligned for graphics that take up the entire width of the

main frame. In such a case, you need to add at least one frame style.

To apply a style to a frame:

1) Select the frame.

2) Bring up the Styles and Formatting window (for example, by

pressing

F11

3) Click the Frame Styles icon (the third one from the left).

4) Double-click the frame style you want.

Tip

When a frame is selected, the Frame toolbar replaces the

Formatting toolbar. Then, the

Apply Style

list at the left of the

Frame toolbar displays frame styles. You can use this to

change the style of a frame.

Most of a frame’s design can be set in a style. However, the following

options must be set manually:

• Anchoring: how the frame is positioned in relation to the rest of

the page’s contents (Format > Anchor).

• Arrangement: the frame’s position in a stack of objects (Format

> Arrange).

• Adding a hyperlink: so that a click on the frame opens a Web page

or another document in an HTML file (Insert > Hyperlink).
