Text styles (paragraph, character, table, cell) or style groups can be mapped to different styles while linking. The mapped styles are automatically
applied to the linked content, instead of the original styles applied to the parent. Custom style mapping comes in handy, for example, when you
want to use sans serif fonts for digital and serif fonts for print publications. Or if you want, vary the text style between the horizontal and vertical
layouts.
To define custom style mapping, do one of the following:
In the Link Options dialog box (Links panel > Link Options), enable Define Custom Style Mapping and then click Settings.
Click
in the Content Conveyor.
