Paragraph styles | CC, CS6
A paragraph style includes both character and paragraph formatting attributes, and can be applied to a paragraph or range of paragraphs. You can
create Paragraph styles and then apply them later.
Choose Window > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles panel. By default, each new document contains a Basic Paragraph style that
is applied to text you type. You can edit this style, but you can’t rename or delete it. You can rename and delete styles that you create. You can
also select a different default style to apply to text.
To apply a paragraph style, select the text or text layer and click a paragraph style.
Type styles are hierarchical: Manual overrides supersede any applied character styles, which in turn replace applied paragraph styles. This
hierarchical approach lets you combine the efficiency of styles with the flexibility to customize your designs.

styles | Creative Cloud only.

style.
