Chapter 6 Working with Styles 119

About Styles

A style is predefined formatting that you can apply to text with a click of your mouse.

For example, if your document contains a style named Chapter Heading that centers

text, makes it bold, and increases the font size to 18 points, you can select text, open

the Styles drawer, and then click Chapter Heading. The text automatically centers,

changes to bold, and resizes to 18 points.

There are three kinds of styles.

Â Paragraph styles: These styles can be applied only to entire paragraphs (chunks of

text that end with a carriage return), not to individual words within paragraphs.

These include styles for headings, body text, callouts, captions, headers, and footers.

Paragraph styles can include specifications for font, size, text color, character and line

spacing, text shadow, background color, indentation and margins, tab settings, and

more. If you want to create a table of contents for your word processing document,

you need to use paragraph styles when creating headings in your document. Most

documents will use a greater variety of paragraph styles than character or list styles.

Â Character styles: You can apply a character style to any group of characters, including

individual words or groups of words, or letters within a paragraph. Common

examples of character styles are different colors or font sizes used to emphasize

individual words or phrases. Character styles can be applied to text within a

paragraph without changing its paragraph style.

Â List styles: When you want to create simple lists or an outline, you can apply list styles

to your text. List styles automatically format your text with bullets or numbering,

depending on which kind of list style you choose. You can also indent paragraphs as

a block by changing their list indent level (see “Using Bulleted, Numbered, and

Ordered Lists (Outlines)” on page 95). Some list styles are very basic, for simple lists;

others, such as Harvard and Legal, allow you to create outlines.

The Styles drawer displays all the styles for the document you’re working in.

Here are ways to show or hide the Styles drawer:

m Click the Styles Drawer button in the Format Bar.

m Click View in the toolbar, and then choose Show Styles Drawer or Hide Styles Drawer.

If you don’t see character or list styles displayed in the Styles drawer, click the Show

Character Styles or Show List Styles button in the bottom-right corner of the Styles

drawer.
