Set Style Type and Location Dialog

 

Use the Set Style Type and Location dialog to make the following selections:

 

Comprehensive or Partial:  Click the appropriate radio button to indicate whether you want to set Comprehensive Styles or Partial Styles.  Partial Styles save just the commands you explicitly specify.  When you use a partial style, other formatting in effect when you use the style will remain the same, unless it is explicitly changed in the style.  In addition to saving the formatting commands you explicitly specify, Comprehensive Styles save the values of other format settings in place in the document at the point where the style is set.  

 

Comprehensive:  Since comprehensive styles save other settings in place when the style is inserted in the document, you must define the default settings to be included in the style (unless you override them by explicitly specifying the settings).  Use the drop down list to specify the default settings to be used by the Comprehensive Style.

 

Partial Style functions:  If you are setting a partial style, select one of the following functions:

 

•Regular Type:  Click this radio button to set a general partial style.
•Numbered Item in List:  This style is used to define the formatting of counters including punctuation or other text before or after the counter.  Numbered Item styles can also be set by clicking Format, Numbered Item.  See Numbered lists.
•Emphasis On/Off:  Emphasis On/Off is a special set of two styles with one style used to turn emphasis on and the second style used to turning the emphasis off.  You set the name and settings for the "On" style and the settings to reverse (or turn off) those settings for the "Off" style.  Nota Bene will automatically name of the "Off" style using the name you select for the "On" style preceded by a forward slash (/).  See Set Styles Emphasis On/Off.
•Text Only and Format Only:  These Styles are used extensively in Academic Styles as paired Styles, with the Text Style defining the text of a heading and the Format Style defining the format of the same heading.  By separating the text from the format, documents written in one Academic Style can be changed to another Academic Style.  It is not expected that these paired styles will be used apart from predefined Academic Styles.

 

Partial Style -- set style definition at:  The style definition must be set before the style can be used.  Use the drop down box to select where you want the style to begin.
