Paragraph style are just that. They apply to the whole paragraph. In order to apply a style to a single line or any number of selected characters or words is with a character style. Unfortunately versions 1.3.3.12 or 1.3.3.13 only have paragraph styles. I have been trying out version 1.3.5svn and that version does have character styles in addition to paragraph styles. It shows promise.
That means I could have a Body paragraph style that is made up of Arial 12 point with 14 point leading and left aligned. I could have a character style that is Arial bold and All Caps. With the Body style applied to a paragraph I could select the first few words of the first sentence and apply the Arial Bold All Caps character style quickly to the selected words. So what everyone else has said about selecting the part of the text you want to change and in the properties palette or the Story Editor add local styling to selected text in the stable version. I look forward to having characters styles in a future stable version.

So to print one line containing different styles, say the first word in small print and the next words in larger print or different font, I would need to use two, or more, text boxes to form the one line. Is this correct? I have Ver. 1.3.3.12. -- Michael Harvey Victoria, BC _______________________________________________ scribus mailing list scribus at lists.scribus.info http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus No virus found in this incoming message.
