Change the sample text that illustrates your style
The right side of the Style Sheet view has a window with a string of text. While one line of text is
usually sufficient for illustrating your Title and Heading styles, for your Normal style you would
probably want at least three paragraphs of text to be able to see not only the leading (line spacing)
but the space allocated before and after paragraphs.
1. Click your insertion point to select the style you want to modify.
2. Click your insertion point in the sample text field and select all the text there (type A
a ).
3. Paste any text you have on the Clipboard or type in the text you want as illustrative.

When you delete any of these attributes, the style assumes the reigning attribute of the style upon
which it is based. If it is not based on any particular style, it assumes the attribute set in the Format
portion of your New File preferences (the Nisus New File) as illustrated in Figure 130 on page 119.
