how do I create character and paragraph styles with InDesign? Creating character and paragraph styles is very similar in QuarkXPress and InDesign. In both programs, you can begin by formatting some text and highlighting the text to use it as the starting point for a character or paragraph style, or you can start without formatting or highlighting any text in advance. To create a paragraph or character style, choose Type > Paragraph Styles or Type > Character Styles. Then choose New Paragraph Style or New Character Style from the panel menu, and go through the different panes to assign the formatting attributes you want. Use distinctive names for your styles to make them easy to remember. All About Styles 54 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide Character and paragraph styles are great time-savers for text- intensive publications like newspapers, magazines, and catalogs. InDesign offers comprehensive style options, including automatically applying successive paragraph styles, style groups, and nested styles, which let you apply complex formatting quickly by embedding one or more character styles in a paragraph style. InDesign CS3 also includes object styles, which you can apply to any InDesign object, and table styles and cell styles, which make document-wide changes to table and cell formatting fast and painless. what are the most useful features for working with character and paragraph styles? Here’s a description of some stylerelated features that you may find helpful: Selectively import styles from other InDesign documents. You can load (import) all or some of the paragraph styles and character styles from another InDesign document (any version) into the active document. If you load a style that has the same name as an existing style in the target document, you can either overwrite the style in the target document or rename the incoming style. To import paragraph styles, choose Load Paragraph Styles from the Paragraph Styles panel menu. To import character styles, choose Load Char- acter Styles from the Character Styles panel menu. To import paragraph and character styles, choose Load All Text Styles from the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel menu. Apply successive paragraph styles to multiple paragraphs in a single step. If you’ve linked multiple paragraph styles using the Next Style option in the General pane of the Paragraph Style Options dialog box, you can apply the styles in succession to highlighted paragraphs. For example, if you’ve created a Headline style that’s followed by a Byline style that’s followed by a Body Text style, you can select several paragraphs, right-click (or Control-click in Mac OS) the Headline style in the Paragraph Styles panel, and then choose Apply Headline Style Then Next
Invoke Quick Apply and type the first few letters in a style name to quickly locate and apply a style. Style. The Headline style is applied to the first paragraph, the Byline style is applied to the second paragraph, and the Body Text style is applied to the remaining paragraphs. Undo changes when modifying a style that’s based on another style. If you make changes to a paragraph style that’s based on another style, click Reset To Base to restore the settings of the “child” style to those of the “parent” style. Quickly apply any character or paragraph style. The Quick Apply feature lets you quickly find and apply character and paragraph styles. Quick Apply has been enhanced in InDesign CS3 and allows you to apply features, such as menu commands, text variables, and scripts, all while keeping your hands on the keyboard. To open the Quick Apply panel, choose Edit > Quick Apply, or press Command+Return in Mac OS or Ctrl+Enter in Windows. You can also open Quick Apply by clicking the Quick Apply icon in the Control panel. When the panel is displayed, type the first letter or letters of a style to select it, and then press Return or Enter to apply it and close the panel. The Quick Apply feature also works with object styles. Support for styles in Word documents. InDesign offers powerful controls for handling styles in imported Word documents. For more information, see page 39. what are nested styles in InDesign? A nested style is a character style that’s saved within a paragraph style and applies character-level formatting to a range of text. You can set up two or more nested styles to work sequentially, with one nested style taking over where the previous one ends. Nested style looping, new in InDesign CS3, lets you repeat a sequence of nested styles through the end of a paragraph. Nested styles are especially useful for creating run-in headings at the beginning of a paragraph. For example, you can apply one character style to the first letter in a paragraph (such as, a drop cap) and another character style that takes effect through the first colon (:). For each nested style, you can define a character that ends the style, such as a tab character or the end of a word. To create a nested style, you first create one or more character styles. Then choose New Paragraph Style from the Paragraph Styles panel menu, and specify the attributes of that style. In the Drop Caps And Nested Styles pane, click New Nested Style. In the Nested Styles area, select a character style from the pop-up menu, and then click the area to the right of the character style and choose Through or Up To. Choosing Through includes the character you specify in the rightmost column; choosing Up To formats only the text that precedes this character. In the rightmost column, choose an option from the menu, or type a character. This setting determines where the character formatting ends. Click the area to the left of the rightmost column, and specify how many instances of the character are required. All About Styles 55
