Using Fill Format mode

The sixth icon at the top of the Styles and Formatting window activates the Fill

Format mode. Use Fill Format to apply a style to many different areas quickly without

having to go back to the Styles and Formatting window and double-click every time.

This method is useful for formatting many scattered paragraphs, words, or other

items with the same style, and it may be easier to use than making multiple

selections first and then applying a style to all of them.

1) Open the Styles and Formatting window (Figure 181) and select a style.

2) Click the Fill Format Mode icon .

3) To apply a paragraph, page, or frame style, hover the mouse over the

paragraph, page, or frame and click. To apply a character style, hold down the

mouse button while selecting the characters. Clicking on a word applies the

character style for that word.

4) Repeat step 3 until you have made all the changes for that style.

5) To quit the Fill Format mode, click the icon again or press the Esc key.

Caution

When this mode is active, a right-click anywhere in the document

undoes the last Fill Format action. Be careful not to accidentally

right-click and mistakenly undo actions you want to keep.

New Style from Selection, Update Style, and Load Styles

functions

The last button in the toolbar of the Styles and Formatting window is a multipurpose

button that gives access to three different functions: New Style from Selection,

Update Style, and Load Styles.

Using New Style from Selection

Use the first function of the multipurpose button to create a new style from the

formatting of an object in the current document. For instance, you can change the

formatting of a paragraph or frame until it appears as you like, and then you can turn

that object’s formatting into a new style. This procedure can save time because you

do not have remember all the formatting settings you want, as is necessary when

creating a new style with the Style dialog box. Besides, unlike when setting the

formatting parameters in dialog box pages as you will learn to do later, you can

immediately see how the objects will look like when formatted with the style you are

creating.

Follow these steps to create a new style from a selection:

1) Change the formatting of the object (paragraph, frame, etc.) to your liking.

2) From the icons at the top of the window, choose the type of style to create

(paragraph, character, and so on).

3) In the document, select the item to save as a style.

4) Go back to the Styles and Formatting window and click the New Style from

Selection icon.

In the Create Style dialog box, enter a name for the new style. The list shows the

names of existing custom styles of the selected type, if any. Click OK to save the new

style.
