Add a style

Add a style to an external CSS

In the Folders list, double-click to open the external cascading style sheet (CSS) you want to modify.
External style sheets have a .css extension.
On the Format menu, click Style, and then click New.
In the Name (selector) box, enter a name for the new style.
Note Do not type spaces in the style name.
In the Style type box, select whether the style will be a Paragraph or Character style.
Click Format, and then specify the formatting characteristics for the new style:
- To set font properties — such as the font family or color, or character spacing — click Font.
- To set alignment, indentation, or spacing, click Paragraph.
- To set borders and shading, click Border.
- To set the style of bullets and numbering, click Numbering.
- To set positioning properties — such as wrapping style, location, or z-order (an element's position in the layers of the page)— click Position.
Note Not all fields need a value.
Close all dialog boxes to return to the style sheet.
Note You have to assign a CSS to a document before the styles will be available for that document.
