Working With Styles

 Following Paragraph Style: If you want a particular paragraph style to always

follow the current style when you press the Return key, choose the style from the

pop-up menu. For example, you might create a photo caption style that should

always be followed by a byline style.

 Pagination & Break: Select how the paragraph can break across pages. You can

specify that lines of this paragraph should always stay together on the same page,

should stay with the following paragraph, or can only appear at the top of a page.

The last two of these are particularly useful for heading styles. Select the checkbox

labeled “Prevent widow & orphan lines” to prevent leaving individual lines on the

following or previous pages.

 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.
