4-8 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual
Tip You can create styles—combinations of formatting information—and
apply the styles to text with a single click using the stylesheet palette. (To
show the stylesheet palette, click
on the Default button bar, or choose
Show Stylesheet from the Window menu.) For example, if you create a style
called Bold, Italic, you can apply it to text any time you want. When you
change a style, all the text with the same style also changes. For information
on creating and using styles, see onscreen Help and “Using styles” on page
9-5.
Changing paragraph formats
Each paragraph has a particular format (indentation, tab settings, and line
spacing). The text ruler indicates the format of the current paragraph (the
paragraph that contains the insertion point). Using the text ruler or the
Paragraph dialog box, you can change the format of paragraphs before or
after you type them. AppleWorks is preset to show the text ruler in a word
processing document. If you don’t see the ruler, choose Show Rulers from the
Window menu.
