To apply a style using the stylesheet palette, click on the Default button
bar (or choose Show Stylesheet from the Window menu). Click in a
paragraph or select the item that you want to apply the style to, and then
select a style. If nothing is selected when you click a style name, the style
you select is used for the next text you type, object you draw, or
spreadsheet element you modify.
To restore a selection to its default state, choose Default on the
pop-up menu. (For spreadsheets choose Default SS.) To restore an item to its
original state, choose Unapply Style from the Edit menu on the stylesheet
palette. (The name of the command varies depending on the style you
applied.)
Note You can set up AppleWorks to apply several styles at once. For
example, applying a Bold, Italic style to text already formatted with the
Number style gives you bold, italic, numbered text. To set this option up,
choose Compound Styles from the stylesheet palette Edit menu.
Creating a style
You can create your own custom styles in any AppleWorks document.
Note Although you can create a style at any time, you can’t apply the style
until it’s appropriate to do so. For example, if you create a paragraph style
while you’re in a blank draw document, you don’t see the paragraph style in
the stylesheet palette until you create a text frame.
