Note
If you want the first page of a new chapter to always start on a right
(recto) page, make sure that the page style for the first chapter page is
set for the right page only by making this selection in the Layout
settings field on the Page tab of the Page Style dialog box.
The Options section of the Text Flow page provides settings to control what happens
when a paragraph does not fit on the bottom of a page:
• Do not split paragraph means that the paragraph is never split across two
pages. If it does not fit on the bottom of one page, the entire paragraph moves
to the top of the next page.
• Keep with next paragraph is appropriate for headings or the lead-in
sentence to a list, to ensure that it is not the last paragraph on a page.
• Orphan control and Widow control. Widows and orphans are typographic
terms. An orphan is the first line of a paragraph alone at the bottom of a page
or column. A widow is the last line of a paragraph that appears alone at the top
of the next page or column. Use these options to allow paragraphs to split
across pages or columns but require at least two or more lines to remain
together at the bottom or top of a page or column. You can specify how many
lines must remain together.
Font options for the paragraph style
Three pages of the Paragraph Style dialog box are dedicated to settings controlling
the appearance of the font, namely, the Font, Font Effects, and Position pages. The
use of the first two pages is straightforward. Many of the options used when creating
a character style are discussed in “Creating a new character style” on page 218.
Options that can be used when creating a paragraph style are described here.
Specifying a relative font size
If you are creating a style based on another style (linked style), you can specify a font
size relative to that other style—either as a percentage or as a plus or minus point
value (–2pt or +5pt). Relative font sizes are commonly used for Web pages.
For example, the paragraph style Heading 1 is based on the paragraph style Heading.
The font size of the paragraph style Heading is 14pt, and the font size of paragraph
style Heading 1 is specified as 115%. Thus, the resultant font size of text in a
paragraph formatted with the Heading 1 paragraph style is 14pt times 115% =
16.1pt.
To specify a percentage font size: in the Paragraph Style dialog box, select the Font
tab. In the Size box, enter the percentage amount followed by the symbol % (see
Figure 234). Similarly, you can enter a plus or minus sign followed by the number of
points to be added or subtracted from the base font size.
To change from a relative font size back to an absolute font size, enter the desired
font size in points followed by the letters pt.
It is also possible to use a Percentage Font size for character styles.
