Create Style from Selection |
|
This option turns the current selection into a dynamic style that you can reuse. Formatting text manually and then turning it into a style is often easier than designing a style "from scratch" in the styles definition dialogs.
If no text is selected the function uses the attributes of the paragraph in which the cursor is currently located, including the paragraph attributes and the text attributes at the current cursor position.
Create a new style: |
Define a completely new style using the current selection as a model. |
Change existing style: |
Redefine an existing style. The style assigned to the current selection or cursor position is the default but you can select another style to redefine. |
New style name: |
Enter a new name or accept the name of the style you want to redefine. |
Based on style: |
Select a "parent" child to make the new or redefined style the child of another style. If you select a paragraph style as the parent the new style will also be a paragraph style. |
Assign paragraph attributes: |
Assigns both the text and paragraph attributes of the current selection to the new or redefined style. |
Edit Styles: |
Opens the Edit Styles dialog for more detailed styles editing. |
