Text Handling 253

The APPLY TO ALL SIMILAR TEXT IN THIS DOCUMENT option is useful for applying text styles
to existing documents that don’t already use text styles, such as imported PDFs. For a
style to be applied to all similar text within the document, the text must have the same
font and font size over more than 50% of a paragraph, and it must also have the same
justification and indentation settings (within a small tolerance).

Styles based on other styles
In Web Designer Premium, you can base one style upon another. For example, if you
wanted another variant of Heading 2 style, that was identical in every respect, except a
different color, then when you create the new style you would make it based on "Heading
2" in the CREATE STYLE dialog. This means that if you update "Heading 2" to be, for
example, a new font or size, your new Style would also take on that new font or font size.

New Character Styles are typically based on the "Underlying Paragraph Style", but just
with the changes you want. So this means if you have a Character Style that just sets the
text color and nothing else, applied to a single word, then when you altered the
Paragraph Style of the paragraph, this word would change to match, except its color.
Creating new Styles

To create a completely new Style, change a selection of text to appear how you want and
then select the CREATE STYLE menu from the Style list drop-down on the TEXT TOOL
INFOBAR.

If you want to create a new Paragraph Style it’s recommended that you select and apply
your changes to a whole paragraph, before selecting the CREATE STYLE menu option.

This dialog shows a new style, (NewStyle2) being created that is a PARAGRAPH STYLE,
based on an existing HEADING 2 style. The NEXT PARAGRAPH option determines what style
will be used for the subsequent paragraph when typing.
