Help with creating paragraph styles in Publisher


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm struggling to create new paragraph style that is not based on another style.

The expected workflow would be:

(1) select text,
(2) click on "create new paragraph style",
(3) select "based on no other style",
(4) give it a name and click Save.

However,  the new style does not save some settings like font family which says "no changes" instead of the current font name. When I save and apply the new style, it sometimes changes the font and sometimes not. I do not understand how that works. The new style should save exactly what the currently selected paragraph is.

When I try to detach the current style before creating a new style (by clicking on "no style" in the styles panel) then the text changes to a different font etc..  It seems that "no style" is in fact a style with again different settings but I cannot find out how to change it.

My question is: How do I create a new style from a text selection that is not based on any other style and saves what the currently selected paragraph is?

Thanks!

You will need to choose the font family. Other wise when ever you change the font while 'No Style' is chosen that font for 'No Style' will cause the new paragraph style to change its font.

Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
