  • Style sheets open in the Style Editor. The Style Editor contains the tools to create new styles or edit existing ones and the Style Inspector for viewing the source of the formatting for a style.
  • See
  • Work with the Style Inspector
  • You add new styles to a style sheet using the Add Style list, which
  • includes all the style elements that can be added to the style sheet.
  • The Add Styles list includes the following compound and element styles. Compound styles, such as Table and List, cover several elements.
  • : Format for a bulleted or numbered list. You can create a separate format for each list level.
  • List
  • : Format for a table and its elements.
  • Table
  • : Character style that applies formatting attributes to a text selection. Character formatting includes font, font size and color, bold, italics, underline, and so on. Text styles do not include paragraph formatting attributes.
  • Text
  • : Italic format commonly used for contact information for the author of the document. The style applies to the entire paragraph.
  • Address
  • : Left and right indented paragraph format commonly used for quoting text from another source. The style apples to the entire paragraph.
  • Block Quote
  • : Defines the body of the document by controlling its overall appearance.
  • Document Body
  • : Formats for a hierarchy of text headings. Heading styles use the Document font, but adjust the size for each level by using a percentage of Document font size.
  • Heading 1 - Heading 6
  • : Lines used to divide sections of a document.
  • Horizontal Line
  • : Formatting for images inserted into web pages.
  • Image
  • : Formatting for the link text in a document that opens a target destination such as another web page or URL.
  • Link
  • : Defines the font, alignment, and spacing for paragraphs.
  • Paragraph
  • : Commonly used for including sections of ASCII text. The style applies a fixed width font that preserves the spaces and line breaks. The font size is inherited from the Document font. The style applies to the entire paragraph, however, the paragraph text in a Preformatted style does not wrap.

  • Note:
  • Format Styles
  • Styles appear in a style sheet with the following components:
  • :
  • Style Headers
  • Each style displays the style name in a bordered header. When you select a style for editing, the header background turns blue. Only one style can be selected and edited at a time. The header displays the style name on the left, which is editable, and the element name on the right, which is not editable. Bold header text indicates a default style. A style can contain multiple language variations and one print style for each language. Adding a print style lets you produce a Player and document output with different formatting. For example, you may want to use different font sizes for online and print presentation. See
  • Add Print and Language Variations
  • : New styles appear with the <Enter style name here> placeholder text in the style header. You edit this text to name the style. If you do not enter another name, the Style Editor assigns a name based on the style element with an incremental number appended (such as Paragraph 1); however you can change a style name. There are no limitations on naming the style, but you should assign a name that is descriptive. In addition,
  • Style Name
  • style names must be unique. If you enter a duplicate name in the same style sheet, you are prompted to enter a unique name.
  • Warning:
  • : If you have multiple styles of the same element type, you can set one as the default. A default style is indicated by a bold style name and a
  • Default Style Indicator
  • [default
  • ]
  • For example, a style sheet contains three bulleted list styles, with one marked as the default. When you create a bulleted list in a web page, the default style is automatically applied to the new list. After the bulleted list element is added to the web page, you can apply one of the other bulleted styles to the list.
  • do not have to set a default style for an element type. If there is no default for an element type, the Web Page Editor uses the browser formatting defaults for that element. You can then apply a non-default style or manually apply direct formatting to change the format of the element.
  • There can be only one document body style in a style sheet, so the default option is not available for this style. Furthermore, you cannot set a default for a text style.
  • Note:
  • : Each style includes a preview pane under the style header that displays sample text with the style properties applied. The preview reflects any changes made to the style, either manually or by inheritance. The preview itself is not directly editable.
  • Preview Pane
  • Lines of silver text appear above and below the preview text to indicate spacing and padding around the style content.
  • Expand and Collapse Styles
  • Collapsing and expanding styles hides the preview and any print and language variations, reducing the style to display the header only. Hiding style details makes it easier to find and work with styles. You can use the icons in the style headers to collapse and expand an individual style or use the icons in the toolbar to collapse and expand all styles in the style sheet. Collapsing all styles reduces the view to style headers only, hiding the previews and all print and language variations.
  • The Standard style sheet initially opens showing style headers expanded to display the preview pane and all print and language variations collapsed.
  • Note:
  • Style Order
  • Styles are grouped by element in the style sheet, and then alphabetically ordered by style name within each type. The order of the style elements is fixed by expected usage, with the exception of the document body style, which is listed first because of style inheritance. You cannot reorder the style elements. The fixed order is:
  • Document Body
  • Paragraph
  • Text
  • Table
  • Bulleted List
  • Numbered List
  • Heading 1 to Heading 6
  • Image
  • Link
  • Horizontal Line
