Formatting Characters
You can apply many formats to characters using the buttons on the Text panel of the Properties deck of the Sidebar or the Formatting toolbar.
Figure 14 shows the Sidebar's Text panel with the controls labeled.
Figure 15 shows the Formatting toolbar as a floating toolbar, customized to show only the buttons for character formatting.
It is highly recommended that you use character styles rather than manually formatting characters. For information on styles and how to use them, see Chapters Chapters 6 and 7.

To remove manual formatting, select the text and choose Format → Default Formatting from the main menu bar, or right-click and choose Default Formatting from the pop-up menu. |
