line and also Characters at beginning of line from 2 to 3. This will avoid

hyphenation of short words such as “impact”.

Two rather enigmatic concepts are those of Orphan control and Widow control. The

former stands for the minimum number of lines a paragraph at the bottom of a page must

contain if it is not to move in toto to the following page. The latter stands conversely for the

minimum number of lines a paragraph appearing at the very top of a page must contain

below which it starts “pulling” lines from the previous page.

Note: Do not use the paragraph style Default for your text body! Default in fact should not

be used at all! It’s there to fix general settings applying to all styles, amongst others headings and

tables. For the latter you simply wouldn’t want a Line spacing of 1.5 lines, Alignment

justified and Text flow › Hyphenation › Automatically. This caveat does not

apply to Default Page Style, only to Default Paragraph Style. This mistake is very

common, which is why I’m drawing your attention to it.

13 More on Styles

We have already applied paragraph styles for headings and

for the text body. Other elements such as footnotes,

quotes, literature lists and so on all have their own styles.

You can also create new styles as the need arises.

Paragraph Styles make life so much easier. They allow for

complete uniformity of all types of text. So for instance all

your indented quotes will look the same. Time saving is

immeasurable: instead of having to scan the whole text

for possible formatting mistakes you simply change the

style in one central location, and all the elements belonging to

that style change along with it.

You get to the style list through Format › Styles and

Formatting or else simply by pressing F11. At the very

bottom of the list you can choose if you want to list all

possible styles or only the ones you have applied so far.

You can change any existing style by right-clicking it and

choosing Modify. You can create a new style by right-

clicking on any existing style and choosing New. Using

the small black triangle on the top right hand corner of

the pop-up menu you can create a New Style from

Selection, meaning a new paragraph style or page style

based on the paragraph or page on which your cursor is

situated at present. Finally you can right click any paragraph and choose Edit paragraph

style…

Paragraph Styles can be arranged hierarchically, the one inheriting its settings from the other

Illustration 14: Here you see a list of all Applied

Paragraph Styles, i.e. those actually used in my text.

In the menu bar you can see buttons for the other

categories of styles: Characters, Frames, Pages and

Lists.
