Modifying and Creating New Paragraph Styles
A paragraph is any block of text followed by a Return character. For these blocks of text
(including headings, body text, footers, callout text, and so on) you can define the
appearance, tab spacing, margins, background color, page breaks, and more using
paragraph styles.
If you don’t find a paragraph style with exactly the look you want in the Pages
templates, you can modify an existing style or create a new style.
Modifying Paragraph Styles
Change a paragraph’s appearance, tab stops, margins, background color, page breaks,
and more by modifying its paragraph style.
