Chapter 5 Working With Styles 113
 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 59.)
 Remove ligatures: A ligature is a stylish flourish between letters or at the end or
beginning of lines. Ligatures are used by some fonts to combine two or more text
characters into one glyph. Select the checkbox if you don’t want to use ligatures in a
selected paragraph that has ligatures turned on. (To turn it on for the document,
use the Document Inspector. See page 59. 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.)
 Baseline Shift: A negative number places the text lower than the surrounding text.
A positive number places the text higher than the surrounding text. Enter a number
in the field. (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.)
 Paragraph Fill: Select the checkbox and click the color well to make a color
background appear behind the paragraph. For example, 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:
 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.)
 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.
