• Bold
• Font Size 14 pt
• Font Lucida Grande
• Paragraph Spacing After 0
• Paragraph Spacing Before 6
• All other attributes will remain the same as those for Normal.
Heading 2 style is based on Heading 1. To distinguish it from Normal we only want to make it a
bit smaller

• All other attributes will remain the same as those for Heading 1.
You can “base” Paragraph Styles on other Paragraph Styles and have different Character Styles
underlying them. You cannot base a Character Style on a Paragraph Style.
Determine the style of the next paragraph of your text automatically
Generally, when you type descriptive text, each new paragraph shares the same formatting as the
one that preceded it. Headings are exceptions to this. Usually a heading is immediately followed by
normal text. The styles of Nisus Writer Express take this into account. You can determine the style
of the following paragraph.
1. Choose Style Sheet view from the View menu.
2. Select the style you want to modify
3. Choose the style for the next paragraph from the Next Style pop-up men.
☞
Normal style is already set to follow the various Heading styles and the Title style.
4. Return to the Draft or Page view.
Assign a keyboard shortcut to your style as you edit it
Nisus Writer Express allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts to any command of the program. You
can set your keyboard shortcuts in the Preferences as explained in “Assign Menu Keys to Menu
Commands” on page 235. However, while you are busy working on your styles, Nisus Writer
Express allows you to assign the shortcuts right in the Style Sheet view.
1. Click your insertion point in the Shortcut box.
2. Press A and type the key you want for your shortcut.
