Text Handling 269

To create a Style that is based on no other Style, that is to say, it inherits no attributes
from another style, select (NO STYLE) from the BASED ON: option, as below.

This dialog shows the creation of a NewStyle2, that is a Paragraph Style and based on
no other style. The lower section lists all the attributes that make up this Style. The
attributes listed have been taken from selected text, so this Style consists of a complete
definition, listing all possible text attributes.

In this case when entering text in this Style, the NEXT PARAGRAPH (i.e. when Return is
pressed) will be in the same style again.

Removing Styles
The STYLES list in the STYLES menu includes the entry NO STYLE. Selecting this removes
the Style (Paragraph and/or Character Style) from the selection whilst retaining the same
appearance. When you select the option a dialog appears informing you of this. Click on
the dialog's CLEAR STYLES button to proceed with the operation. Now your selected text
looks exactly the same as before, but has NO STYLE applied to it.

Deleting Styles
To delete a style select DELETE STYLE from the STYLES menu, the DELETE STYLE dialog
opens. Now choose the text style you wish to delete from the dropdown menu in the
dialog. The style will be deleted from the menu as will all references to the style, and the
style will be returned to its base style. However, the returned style will still retain the
deleted style's attributes and appearance. So for example a deleted style based on
HEADING 1 WILL appear as HEADING 1+ to indicate this.
