Applying a character style
You're ready to apply your character style to selected text already placed in the document.
As with paragraph styles, using character styles prevents you from having to manually ap-
ply multiple type attributes to each instance of text.
1.
Scroll to the right to view the right-facing page of the first spread.
To maintain a consistent look for the company name, you'll apply the Company
Name character style.
2.
Using the Type tool ( ), select the words “Expedition Tea Company” in the first
paragraph of body text.
Note
You can also use the keyboard shortcut you defined earlier (Shift+8 or
Command+8) to apply the Company Name style.
3.
In the Character Styles panel, click once on the Company Name style to apply it to
this text. You should see the text change to reflect the character style you created.
4.
Using either the Character Styles panel or the keyboard shortcut, apply the Com-
pany Name style to the words “Expedition Tea Company” in the second body
paragraph as well.
Leave the Character Styles panel open for the next exercise.
5.
Choose Edit > Deselect All, then choose File > Save.
