AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

To restore a selection to its default state, choose Default on the

pop-up menu. (For spreadsheets choose Default SS.) To restore an item to its
original state, choose Unapply Style from the Edit menu on the stylesheet
palette. (The name of the command varies depending on the style you
applied.)

Note You can set up AppleWorks to apply several styles at once. For
example, applying a Bold, Italic style to text already formatted with the
Number style gives you bold, italic, numbered text. To set this option up,
choose Compound Styles from the stylesheet palette Edit menu.

Creating a style

You can create your own custom styles in any AppleWorks document.

Note Although you can create a style at any time, you can’t apply the style
until it’s appropriate to do so. For example, if you create a paragraph style
while you’re in a blank draw document, you don’t see the paragraph style in
the stylesheet palette until you create a text frame.

You create a custom style by collecting formatting information from any of
the following:

an element in a text, draw, or spreadsheet document (such as text or
objects)

a style that’s already on the stylesheet palette

the document controls you’d normally use to format text and objects (such
as the tools, palettes, ruler, paragraph controls, and menu commands)

To add a custom style to the stylesheet palette, click

on the Default button

bar (or choose Show Stylesheet from the Window menu) to show the stylesheet
palette. Then click the New button on the stylesheet palette. In the New Style
dialog box, set the options you want, and then click OK.

Choose Index from the

or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

In the Help index,
