Working With Styles

To remove style overrides:

1

Click Style in the toolbar and choose Show Styles Drawer (or choose View > Show

Styles Drawer) to open the Styles drawer.

2

Select the text you want to change.

3

In the Styles drawer, click the arrow to the right of the selected style and choose

Revert to Original Style (or double-click the style name). The selected text takes on the

default attributes of the selected style.

Finding and Replacing Styles

If you want to change the look of your document by changing all instances of a style

to a different one, you can find and replace the style throughout the document

without searching for specific text.

To find and replace a style:

1

Click Style in the toolbar and choose Show Styles Drawer (or choose View > Show

Styles Drawer) to open the Styles drawer.

2

In the Styles drawer, rest the pointer over the name of the style that you want to

replace and click the arrow to the right of its name.

3

Choose Select All Uses of [style name]. All instances of the style are selected

throughout the document.

4

Select the name of the style to which you want to change the selected text.

You can also copy the paragraph or character style of selected text and apply it to

different text in the same document by pasting it.

To copy and paste a paragraph or character style:

1

Place the insertion point in a paragraph or word whose style you want to copy, and

then choose Format > Copy Paragraph Style or Copy Character Style.

2

Place the insertion point in a paragraph or word you want to modify, and then choose

Format > Paste Paragraph Style or Paste Character Style.

The text takes on the new style, but its content is not altered.

If you frequently copy and paste styles, you can add the Copy Style and Paste Style

buttons to the toolbar. To learn about customizing the toolbar, see “The Toolbar” on

page 30.
