Task 11 Apply a character style

1 Select text in a paragraph.

2 Click the style name you just created. That’s it!

To remove any character style, select the formatted text, go to the Character Styles panel, and choose “None.”

Oh boy—nested styles!

Nested styles are really amazing. Once you make a character style or two, you can set up a paragraph style that automatically applies a character style at certain points. For instance, when I type a task heading, as on the opposite page, the first words automatically appear in a tint of the blue color and in small caps; when I hit the Tab key, the formatting automatically changes to the paragraph style sheet.

You’re not limited to using only one character style—you can use many, surely more than you’ll ever want to use in one paragraph.

If you’re feeling confident in your ability to create style sheets that include tabs, indents, spacing, etc., let’s create a nested style that creates the format shown below; it is created automatically as you type.
