Edit a paragraph's attributes

  Choose the Inspector menu item from the Tools menu  to open the Paragraph Inspector panel.     Select Paragraph from the popup at the top of the inspector.    View and edit paragraph attributes on the paragraph inspector.


Use the paragraph inspector to set the paragraph's
text color
alignment
default font
line spacing
bullet character
break protection
paragraph spacing
"Followed by" style

If you select multiple paragraphs and then edit attributes on the Paragraph Inspector, only those attributes you edit will change.
Some paragraph attributes, like indentation and tabs, are set on the ruler.
You can use styles to save time when the design of a document changes; when you change a style, all paragraphs tagged with that style change.
When you edit a paragraph tagged with a style, the definition of that style does not change.  The changes you make override the style definition.  If you later apply (or force through the Style Edit Panel) a style to that paragraph, the local override changes are removed.
