Copy type attributes to selected text
1 With the Type tool or Path Type tool , select the text to which you want to copy attributes.
2 Using the Eyedropper tool , click the text from which you want to copy attributes. (The text from which you
want to copy attributes must be in the same InDesign document as the text you want to change.) The Eyedropper
tool reverses direction and appears full
, to indicate that it’s loaded with the attributes you copied. The attributes
are applied to the text you selected in step 1.
Change which text attributes the Eyedropper tool copies
1 In the toolbox, double-click the Eyedropper tool.
2 Choose Character Settings or Paragraph Settings in the Eyedropper Options dialog box.
3 Select the attributes you want to copy with the Eyedropper tool, and then click OK.
To copy or apply paragraph attributes only without having to change settings in the Eyedropper Options dialog box,
hold down Shift as you click text with the Eyedropper tool.
Use Quick Apply
Use Quick Apply to find and apply styles, menu commands, scripts, variables, and most other commands that can be
found in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
1 Select the text or frame to which you want to apply the style, menu command, script, or variable.
2 Choose Edit > Quick Apply, or press Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Command+Return (Mac OS).
3 Start typing the name of the item you want to apply.
The name you type doesn’t need to be an exact match. For example, typing he will locate styles such as Head 1, Head
2, and Subhead, as well as Help menu commands such as Help Menu > InDesign Help.
You can narrow the search to only a single category by typing the appropriate prefix at the beginning of the search,
such as m: for menu or p: for paragraph styles. To view a list of prefixes, click the down arrow to the left of the Quick
Apply text box. You can deselect categories in this list that you don’t want to appear.
