Chapter 4 Working With Styles 79
c Language: Choose a language from the pop-up menu to specify the language used
to spell-check this paragraph. If your document will include quotes or sections in
another language, you can specify a language for the spelling dictionary used in
those paragraphs. The spelling dictionary determines how words are spelled and
hyphenated.
d Remove hyphenation for paragraph: Select the checkbox if you want to turn off
automatic hyphenation for this paragraph style in a document that has automatic
hyphenation turned on. (To turn it on for the document, use the Document
Inspector. See page 89.)
e Remove ligatures: Select the checkbox if you don’t want to use ligatures in this
paragraph style in a document that has ligatures turned on. (To turn it on for the
document, use the Document Inspector. See page 89. If any text is selected when
you remove ligatures, it will be applied to the selected text as a style override, unless
you complete step 7, below.)
f Baseline Shift: Enter a number in the field. A negative number places the text lower
than the surrounding text. A positive number places the text higher than the
surrounding text. (If any text is selected when you set the baseline shift, it will be
applied to the selected text as a style override, unless you complete step 7, below.)
g Paragraph Fill: Select the checkbox and click the color well to make a color
background appear behind the paragraph. For instance, you can create a heading
style that presents white text against a dark background. The color extends from the
left paragraph margin to the right.
7 In the Styles drawer, click the arrow to the right of the paragraph style name, and
choose one of the following:
a Redefine Style From Selection: Redefines the existing paragraph style for the
whole document.
If you choose this, your formatting changes will apply to all other instances of this
style throughout the document. (But any character styles that have been applied
will not be affected.)
b Create New Paragraph Style From Selection: This doesn’t alter the existing style,
but creates a new style based on the formatting choices you’ve made in the
previous steps.
If you select this, type a name for the new style, and then click OK.
