9.6 Assign Character Styles

Styles are sets of formatting attributes that you can apply to text in your document. Typically styles
are applied to whole paragraphs and allow you to use preset formatting for headings, captions,
numbered paragraphs, and so forth. However, Character styles are useful when you find yourself
using the Format Painter over and over again to apply character formatting.
Character styles add to the current formatting of text. For example, if the text is 12 point Arial italics
and your character style applies bold and strikethrough, the text to which you apply the character
style will be 12 point Arial bold, italic, and strikethrough.

Assign a Character Style
1. To apply a style to existing text, select the text to which you want to assign the style. If you
want to apply a style as your are entering new text, place your insertion point where you
want the newly styled text to appear.
2. Choose a style from the Style panel on the Home menu. When you click the Style box, you see
each style name displayed in the style’s font. An underlined “a” indicates a character style.
3. Click the name of the style you want to use to apply the style to the selected text.
When you want to remove the character style from selected text, apply the character style Default
Paragraph Font. The text reverts to the formatting defined in the paragraph style assigned to the
paragraph in which the selected text is located.
