1. Paragraph style
A basic setup would include you define a Paragraph Style. This style is applied for the text from start to the new-line character. “¶”
...
You can apply the style by clicking somewhere in the paragraph, and choosing the Paragraph Style. It will be applied to the whole paragraph, regardless of your selection.
2. Character styles
For Character styles, you need to select a portion of text. (full words, partial words, several words & spaces, …)
3. Locally overruled setting
Next to applying pre-define styles (paragraph- or character style), you cal select a portion of the text, an locally overrule the applied styles.

or Overriding
Overruling (or overriding) a setting style means that you replace the current applied settings with the new.
This can be done with another (character) style, or by changing the settings that are available in the text ruler.

In the picture above, you see the default settings, and 2 defined styles.
...
Behind the scenes, the styling is split in 3 parts. There is the first part with Style 1, a second part with Style 2, and a third part (again) with Style 1.
The result
In the end, each character has 1 style to comply to.

Important: styles will not inherit. Nesting does not work in applying styles. Every character will have only 1 style. (one of the three above) |
