USING INCOPY CS4 167 Styles To view a video tutorial on using the Next Style feature by Jeff Witchel, go to www.layersmagazine.com/using-thenext-style-paragraph-feature-in-indesign.html. Styles panel overview Use the Character Styles panel to create, name, and apply character styles to text within a paragraph; use the Paragraph Styles panel to create, name, and apply paragraph styles to entire paragraphs. Styles are saved with a document and display in the panel each time you open that document. When you select text or position the insertion point, any style that has been applied to that text is highlighted in either of the Styles panels, unless the style is in a collapsed style group. If you select a range of text that contains multiple styles, no style is highlighted in the Styles panel. If you select a range of text to which multiple styles are applied, the Styles panel displays "(Mixed)." Open the Paragraph Styles panel ❖ Choose Type > Paragraph Styles, or click the Paragraph Styles tab, which appears by default on the right side of the application window. Open the Character Styles panel ❖ Choose Type > Character Styles, or click the Character Styles tab on the right side of the application window. Add paragraph and character styles If the styles you want already exist in another InDesign, InCopy, or word-processing document, you can import those styles for use in your current document. If you are working with a stand-alone story, you can also define character and paragraph styles in InCopy. See also "Group styles" on page 181 "Create nested styles" on page 175 "Apply styles" on page 170 "Duplicate styles or style groups" on page 181 Define paragraph or character styles 1 If you want to base a new style on the formatting of existing text, select that text or place the insertion point in it. If a group is selected in the Styles panel, the new style will be part of that group. 2 Choose New Paragraph Style from the Paragraph Styles panel menu, or choose New Character Style from the Character Styles panel menu. 3 For Style Name, type a name for your new style. 4 For Based On, select which style the current style is based on. Note: The Based On option lets you link styles to each other, so that changes in one style ripple through the styles that are based on it. By default, new styles are based on [No Paragraph Style] for paragraph styles or [None] for character styles, or on the style of any currently selected text. 5 For Next Style (Paragraph Styles panel only), specify which style is applied after the current style when you press Enter or Return.
