Style Sheets!

!

A style sheet is a collection of text attributes you can apply to selected
paragraphs by choosing a single menu command.!

For example, to change the font, size, and style of several paragraphs,
you would ordinarily select each paragraph and make the appropriate se-
lections from the Font, Size, and Style menus.!

Instead, you can create one style sheet containing the same formatting
information and apply that style sheet to selected paragraphs.!

Each style sheet can include the following information:!

• Font!
• Size!
• Styles (bold, italic, underline, etc.)!
• Line spacing!
• Paragraph Alignment!
• Text color!
• Ruler margins (first-line indent, left margin, and right margin)!
• Tabs!

!

Once paragraphs are formatted with a style sheet, editing the style sheet automatically changes all text formatted with that
style.
