Create a new style

or “blockquoted” text, or sections of computer code. You can create a new style to control these or
any other block of text you want to format.
1. Choose
▶ Based on Selection from the New Style submenu of the Insert menu to create a style
that inherits the character and paragraph formatting of the text in which your insertion
point appears.
▶ Character Style from the New Style submenu of the Insert menu to create an entirely
new style that has no relationship to the text in which your insertion point appears.
▶ Paragraph Style from the New Style submenu of the Insert menu to create an entirely
new style that has no relationship to the text in which your insertion point appears.
▶ List Style from the New Style submenu of the Insert menu to create an entirely new
style that has no relationship to the text in which your insertion point appears.
