want to design, or select None.
If character styles are not visible in the Styles drawer, click the button with the
underlined character in the bottom-right corner of the drawer.
2 Type some text and select a font typeface and size. For more information, see “Using
the Font Panel to Format Text” on page 48.

Color in the Text Inspector” on page 57.

For more information, see “Modifying and Creating New Paragraph Styles” on page 76.
6 In the Styles drawer, click the arrow to the right of the character style name, and select
one of the following:
a Redefine Style From Selection: Redefines the existing character style for the whole
document.
If you choose this, your formatting changes will apply to all other instances of this
style throughout the document.
b Create New Character Style From Selection: This doesn’t alter the existing style,
but creates a new style based on the formatting choices in the previous steps.
If you select this, you can choose which attributes you want to include as part of the
new character style. Click the disclosure triangle below the Name field in the “New
character style” dialog, and then select the attributes you want. Type a name for the
new style, and then click OK.
