To apply a character style, proceed as follows:
1. | Select the section of text to which you want to apply the character style. |
2. | Right-click in the text to open the context menu and select the command Character style. |
3. | In the list on the left side of the dialog box, select the desired style. |
Tip: A small preview of the selected style is shown in the right half of the dialog box. You can enable or disable this preview via the >> or << buttons.
4. | Click on Apply. |
The formatting of the selected text immediately changes to that which you specified in the character style. In addition, the character style becomes effective for subsequent entries that you type directly after the text.
Tip 1: If you frequently use styles, you should note the direct commands in the sidebar. You can use them to apply and edit styles very swiftly. For more information, see Character styles and the sidebar.
Tip 2: If you have assigned a shortcut key to the style, you can apply the style even faster: Select the desired text and press the assigned key combination.
To remove the style from the text, assign the "Normal" character style to the text. Text to which a character style has been assigned can still be formatted via the character formatting of the command group Home | Character.l
