• Text formatting can be saved as a text style in a document for formatting speed and consistency. Updating a text style will update all text with that same style applied.

• There are two types of text styles: paragraph and character. Paragraph styles save both character and paragraph formatting and apply to entire paragraphs of text. Character styles save only character formatting such as font and font size.

• Each new document starts with a basic paragraph style called “Basic Paragraph.”

• To make a new style, click in the text with the Type tool or select the text, and then click the Create Style button in the Properties panel. Double-click the new style to rename it and press Return (Windows) or Enter (macOS) to make the name change.

• To apply a paragraph style, insert the cursor in text and select a style name in the Properties panel.

Local formatting may be removed in the Paragraph Styles panel. To open the Paragraph Styles panel, with text selected choose Manage Styles from the styles menu in the Properties panel. In the Paragraph Styles panel, click the Clear Overrides button to remove the local formatting.
