If I've been using my Normal type style, all I have to do is change one block of text, update the type style, and watch all of the rest of the body text in the document change auto-magically! Maybe I want to change the style of my body text. Let's say that my document looks like this: If I apply the 'Normal' style to all of my body text, it makes it really easy for me to change it.
Let's say I have a document with lots sections of body text interspersed with titles. The main advantage of customizing your type styles makes it easy for you to format documents quickly. By the way, you can use this same process to change the other styles listed here, such as 'Title', 'Subtitle', 'Heading 1' and so on. Click on the style setting in the toolbar (it probably still reads 'Normal text'), scroll down to 'Options', and then select 'Save as my default styles':įrom now on, all of my new documents will start out with left-aligned 14pt Oswald as my default font. There's one more thing I need to do to make it my default type style for ALL of my future documents. Now I have left-aligned Oswald 14 set as my default style for this one document. Any time I add new text to this document, it will match the Normal style:
This has now changed my 'Normal text' basket o' settings to match my type sample.
