Paragraph styles and your palette
Body, heading, subtitle, section or epigraph: each style brings its font, and you decide it.
- Put the cursor in the paragraph.
- In Home → Styles, choose Text, Title, Subtitle, Section or Epigraph.
Hovering over each one shows how it would look before you choose it.
A style is a palette
The paragraph takes the style's font, size, color, bold, italics and line spacing, and from then on they're its own: you can change any of them later, in that paragraph only.
Your paragraph-type palette
You decide what each style sets, for all your works:
- Tools → Preferences, Paragraph types tab.
- For each style, choose its Font, Size (pt), Color, whether it's Bold or Italic, and its Line spacing. Same as body text uses the font of the Text style.
- Click Save.
Changing the palette doesn't touch what you've written: it applies to the styles you pick from then on. Restore the default style brings back Exaratio's defaults.
A set-off quote
Block quote (Ctrl+Shift+B⌘⇧B) sets the paragraph off from the text, like a quote.
