Character and Paragraph Styles

Overview

  • Styles allow you to create pre-defined sets of character and paragraph settings and apply them simultaneously to text in a document. Advantages
  • Save time when applying multiple formatting options to text.
  • Help maintain consistency across pages (and documents) in a publication.
  • Changes made to a Style are automatically applied to all text that use that style.
  • Help to define a document’s content structure, which in turn helps in automating the creation of a Table of Contents.
  • Styles can have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them, which help speed their application. Paragraph Styles
  • Type > Paragraph Styles (Command-F11)
  • Can be applied to one or more paragraphs.
  • Allows for the application of both character and paragraph attributes.
  • Can be based on other Paragraph styles, from which they inherit attributes.
  • Features the Next Style option, which tells InDesign to automatically switch to a different style when a paragraph return is typed.

Character Styles

  • Type > Character Styles (Command-Shift-F11)
  • Can be applied to one or more characters.
  • Only allow application of character attributes.
  • Can override character attributes applied by a Paragraph style.
  • Can be based on other Character styles, from which they inherit attributes. Creating New Styles
  • Create a new, blank style  Open the Paragraph or Character Style palette, and either click on the New Style icon at the bottom of the palette, or select New Style from the palette submenu.  Give the style a meaningful name, then work your way though the option categories, setting any character or paragraph attribute that you’d like the style to apply. Options left unchanged are not affected by the style.
  • Create a style based on existing text content  Format the text the way you want the style to appear, select it (or simply insert your cursor, in the case of Paragraph styles), then click on the New Style icon at the bottom of the Character or Paragraph palette.  Double-click (or right-click) on the new Style in the palette to open the options dialog box. Give the style a meaningful name and make your adjustments to the Character and Paragraph attributes.
