To apply a paragraph style, proceed as follows:
| 1. | Place the text cursor in the paragraph to which you want to apply the style (or select multiple paragraphs). |
| 2. | On the ribbon tab Home | group Styles, choose the command Paragraph 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 paragraphs immediately changes to the formatting specified for the paragraph style.
Tip 1: The ribbon tab Home | group Styles always displays the paragraph style selected for the current paragraph. You can switch to a different style here at any time by expanding the list and clicking on the desired style.
Tip 2: You can also change the paragraph style in the sidebar by double-clicking on the desired style. The sidebar contains many other direct commands that enable you to conveniently edit styles. For more information, see Paragraph styles and the sidebar.
Tip 3: If you assigned a shortcut key to the style, you can apply styles even faster: simply press the assigned key combination.
