The replacement text in a Text Rule can be styled using Character Styles or style overrides.
This lesson explains how to apply a style override to your text.
Select the characters to which the styling should be applied
In the Replace With field, select the characters to which the style override should be applied.
NOTE: If you do not select any characters, then the system will not know to which characters the styling should be applied, and so no styling will be applied. Please always check that you have selected at least one character for styling.
NOTE: It is not possible to apply a paragraph style to replacement text, as a Text Rule typically only applies to a portion of a paragraph (e.g. a word or phrase).
Style selection using style overrides
- Choose the style override(s) to apply to your selection of text.
- The style override will be reflected in the Replace With field, as well as the right-hand Example field (if you have an example filled in).
NOTE: Blue square brackets are only used to indicate that a style override has been applied if that override cannot be displayed visually (e.g. changes to Horizontal Scale, Kerning, etc.).
NOTE: Multiple style overrides can be applied to a single selection of text.
NOTE: Both a Character Style and style overrides can be applied to the same selection of characters.
