Styles

Open the Styles group on the Text tab when you want every top-level heading the same size and every caption the same colour, without setting fonts by hand region after region. There are six: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Normal, Quote and Caption. Each applies to a whole block.

Apply a style

1. Select a text region, or click inside the paragraph you want to change.
2. Open the Text tab.
3. Click a style button. The button for the style now in force stays highlighted, so you can tell at a glance what a heading actually is.

Which style for what

Style	Use it for
Heading 1	The title of a major check. This is usually the one you go on to mark as a section at Level 1.
Heading 2, Heading 3	Subheadings inside a check — inputs, method, results — matching section Levels 2 and 3.
Normal	Body prose. New text regions start here.
Quote	A block quote, such as the wording of a code clause you are working to.
Caption	A short label under a plot, picture or table.

Styling a region as Heading 1 gives it the look of a heading and nothing more. The number, the sidebar bookmark and the PDF outline entry only appear once you press Section.

Edit styles for this sheet

The pencil beside the style grid is Edit text styles for this sheet, which opens Text styles. Each style has its own Font, Size, Bold, Italic, Underline, Colour and Alignment, plus Reset this style to defaults. Changes reach every region already using that style, on this worksheet only. Other sheets keep their own definitions. Done keeps them and Cancel puts the previous definitions back.
