Document templates<br />

Styles that you want to use frequently can be stored in a document template.<br />

Whenever you create a new document, TextMaker lets you select the document<br />

template to be used as the basis for the document. All styles stored in the document<br />

will also be available in your new document.<br />

Character styles<br />

You can save a frequently needed character format (typeface, size, emphasis, etc.)<br />

in a character style and apply it repeatedly to any characters you like.<br />

For example, if you want some sections of a contract to be formatted in a special<br />

typeface and in a smaller size, simply create an appropriate character style – let’s<br />

call it “Fine print” – and apply the style to those sections.<br />

Note: The difference between character styles and paragraph styles (see section<br />

“Paragraph styles” beginning on page 127) is that character styles contain only<br />

saved character formats, while paragraph styles contain both saved character<br />

formats and saved paragraph formats (indentation, tab stops, alignment, etc.).<br />

Accordingly, character styles are applicable to individual characters, while paragraph<br />

styles are applicable only to complete paragraphs.<br />

On the next pages, you will find detailed information on working with character<br />

styles. The following topics are covered:<br />
