Info

with InDesign, you can apply complex formatting to text, in one step, by nesting character styles within paragraph styles. You must first define the character styles you want to use, and then create a paragraph style and add—or nest—one or more character styles in it. You specify which part of the text each nested character style affects. In this example, three nested character styles control the formatting in all paragraphs. the first nested style is applied through the slash character, the second nested style is applied through a forced line break character, and the third nested style is applied to the rest of the paragraph. tips: wORkIng wIth nEstED stYLEs • You can configure a nested style to end on any of several different characters. Try it: When you’re creating a nested style, enter a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark in the rightmost column in the Nested Styles area. Enter as many characters as you want. When you apply the nested style to a paragraph, the nested style will end at the first instance of any of the characters you entered. • You can insert an End Nested Style Here character within a paragraph using the context menu to specify where a nested style ends. Right-click (or Controlclick in Mac OS) where you want to insert the End Nested Style Here character, choose Insert Special Character, and then choose End Nested Style Character from the submenu. 56 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide To nest multiple character styles in one paragraph style, follow the same steps to add nested styles to the list. what other options does InDesign offer for character and paragraph styles? Commands for working with character and paragraph styles are displayed in the Character Styles panel menu and the Paragraph Styles panel menu, respectively. Both menus offer similar commands for working with styles. You can: • Redefine a style. If you manually apply different formats to text that’s been styled using a character style or a paragraph style, you can incorporate your changes into the applied style by choosing Redefine Style from the panel menu. When you redefine a style, all text formatted with the style changes to match the new style definition. • Break the link to a style. If you select text to which a character or paragraph style is applied and then choose Break Link To Style in the Character Styles panel menu or the Paragraph Styles panel menu, the connection between the text and the applied style is broken. If you subsequently modify the character or paragraph style that was previously associated with the text, the text does not change, as it would if it were still associated with a style.
• Clear overrides. A plus sign (+) is displayed next to the style name in the Paragraph Styles panel if you’ve manually changed any character or paragraph formats in selected text. If you choose Clear Overrides from the Paragraph Styles panel menu in this situation, any manual changes you’ve made are cleared, and the entire paragraph is formatted using the paragraph style settings. • Create style groups. New in InDesign CS3 is the ability to organize related paragraph and character styles by creating style groups. For example, if you’re working on a publication that has several variations of a basic Body Copy paragraph style—for example, Body Copy With Drop Cap, Body Copy After Subhead, Body Copy With Bullet, and so on—you could create a style group. Style groups are identified in the Paragraph Styles and Character Styles panels with a folder symbol. Clicking the arrow next to a style group folder alternately shows and hides the styles in the group. To create a style group, select multiple paragraph styles or character styles in the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel, and then choose New Style Group from the panel menu. Applying Successive Paragraph Styles The Apply Then Next Style feature lets you format an entire story that uses several different paragraph styles—all in a single action. To use this feature, create a sequence of linked paragraph styles using the Next Style option in the General pane of the New Paragraph Style dialog box. In this example, all the text in the text frame at left was styled at once by selecting the frame, right-clicking (or Controlclicking in Mac OS) the standard_ title style in the Paragraph Styles panel, and then choosing Apply “standard_title” Then Next Style. At left, you see the results of choosing Apply “standard_title” Then Next Style. Because the standard_title paragraph style is the first of several linked styles, all of the text in the frame was formatted in a single step. All About Styles 57
