Creating paragraph styles

You can create new paragraph styles that you can use in your project, for example, to format text consistently in multiple text frames. You can also create new paragraph styles based on existing ones.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, choose Engrave > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles dialog.
  2. Create a new paragraph style in one of the following ways:
    • To create an entirely new paragraph style, click New.

    • To create a new paragraph style based on an existing one, select the existing paragraph style in the styles list and click New From Selection.

  3. Enter a name for the style in the Name field.
  4. Optional: Select one of the available styles from the Parent menu.
    Note

    If you select a parent style, your paragraph style inherits its settings automatically for all options with deactivated sliders. If your paragraph style has activated sliders, which override its parent style settings, you can deactivate them to reset those options to follow the parent style.

  5. Activate and change the options as required.
  6. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
