Applying a style

Styles are a set of formatting attributes that allow common elements to look the same. For example, headings are typically in a larger font than regular text. Applying a heading style to your headings allows you to make that change quickly. Each style defines a font, font size, foreground color, background color, and whether lines using the style have a top or bottom border.

Help Crafter has several built-in styles that can be used to format text, and you can easily create your own.

To apply a style:

Select the text you want to format
Click the style button
Select the style you want from the dropdown list

Tip: You can create styles from existing text , or by using the Style Manager .

To change fonts without using styles:

You can change the font type face, size, and color of text using the system Fonts and Colors dialogs.

Open the Fonts dialog:
Choose Format > Show Fonts ( ⌘ T)

- or -

option-click in the content pane and choose Font > Show Fonts
Select the text you want to change, then make desired changes in the Fonts dialog.

Tip: if you modify the appearance of some text (font, color, etc) you can later replace the style you modified, or create a new style. See Creating a style for more info.
