The Normal style in Style Sheet view
Beneath the sample text, in clearly readable “bubbles”, are all the attributes that make up that
style. You can click to select and delete any of the attributes you do not want as part of the style.
You can use the tools of the Character and Paragraph palettes (among others) to make the changes
you want.
To the left are controls you can use to
• determine on what other style in the document this should style be based;
• assign a keyboard shortcut to the style;
• determine the style automatically assigned to the next paragraph (when you press <).
Understanding the difference between the various kinds of styles
This version of Nisus Writer Express supports four kinds of styles
• Paragraph Styles
Apply the associated attributes to the entire paragraph.
• Character Styles
Apply the associated attributes to selected text only (and it can overlay the attributes of a
Paragraph Style). These include those that determine the appearance of the footnote or endnote
reference character in the document.
• Notes Styles.
Apply to the notes areas of your document.
• List Styles
Apply to the lists you insert in your document.
Apply a style to your text
Applying styles to your text is easy. Rather than choosing a font, then a size, then a style and
possibly a color, when you choose a style, all the attributes associated with it are applied at once.
1. Select the text to which you wish to apply the style.
