Working with styles
Duplicate styles or style groups
❖ Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a style or style group in the Styles panel, and then choose
Duplicate Style.
A new style or group appears in the Styles panel, with the same name followed by “copy”. If you duplicated a group
of styles, the style names within the new group remain the same.
You can also duplicate styles by copying them to another group.
Use Quick Apply
In documents that include many styles, it can be difficult to find the style you want without scrolling through a long
list. Use Quick Apply to locate a style quickly by typing part of its name. You can also use Quick Apply to find and
apply 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.
Use QuickApply to find styles, menu commands, scripts, and variables.
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.
4 Select the item you want to apply, and then:
• To apply a style, menu command, or variable, press Enter or Return.
• To apply a paragraph style and remove overrides, press Alt+Enter (Windows) or Option+Return (Mac OS).
• To apply a paragraph style and remove overrides and character styles, press Alt+Shift+Enter (Windows) or
Option+Shift+Return (Mac OS).
• To apply an item without closing the Quick Apply list, press Shift+Enter (Windows) or Shift+Return (Mac OS).
• To close the Quick Apply list without applying an item, press Esc or click anywhere else in the document window.
• To edit a style, press Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Command+Enter (Mac OS).
