In this video, 2 00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:11,670 we're going to look at adjusting our paragraph styles, 3 00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:14,760 doing things like clearing and redefining styles, 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,170 and it'll all make sense in this video. 5 00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:17,720 Let's go and do it now. 6 00:00:17,715 --> 00:00:20,705 The first one and the one I use the most is redefining. 7 00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:22,200 You go into here and actually, 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,330 I want to highlight this, but Roboto Bold. 9 00:00:24,330 --> 00:00:26,850 Actually, I want to start using a Roboto Slab, 10 00:00:26,850 --> 00:00:30,660 so Roboto, and Slab. 11 00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:32,570 I'm going to use Roboto Slab Bold, 12 00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:34,485 click on him, so it adjusted it. 13 00:00:34,485 --> 00:00:36,515 Now, what happens is, can you see here? 14 00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:37,710 It's still my subheading. 15 00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:39,270 But see this little plus thing here? 16 00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:42,050 It means that if I highlight this, no plus. 17 00:00:42,045 --> 00:00:45,425 If I highlight this one, it means that it's pretty much the subheading, 18 00:00:45,425 --> 00:00:47,395 but there are some additions you've done to it. 19 00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:50,180 Often, all you need to do is hover above it and can you see? 20 00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:54,500 I can't really point at it but you can see this as Roboto Slab has been adjusted. 21 00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:56,900 It actually tells you what's been adjusted and you can decide like, "Actually, 22 00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:59,210 I was going to leave it like that," or in my case, 23 00:00:59,210 --> 00:01:01,940 I'm like, "I like it and I want it to apply it to all the styles." 24 00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:04,550 I want to do something called redefine style. 25 00:01:04,550 --> 00:01:07,500 What I can do is with it selected, I right-click it, 26 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,770 and I say "Redefine Style" based on the selection I have now, 27 00:01:11,765 --> 00:01:13,285 and you'll notice that that updated, 28 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,010 that updated all for me. 29 00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:17,870 As you're working, you make small adjustments. 30 00:01:17,865 --> 00:01:20,935 You like this but you want to change it maybe two, 31 00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:24,180 maybe 9.5 because it just not fitting, 32 00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:26,910 and then you can right-click this and say Redefine Style, 33 00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:29,450 and you can see all of it came along for the ride. 34 00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:32,150 I'm going to undo that. Another way 35 00:01:32,150 --> 00:01:35,590 of doing that same thing is if you have nothing selected. 36 00:01:35,585 --> 00:01:40,195 If I double-click, say my first paragraph here, 37 00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:42,260 I can go in and say, 38 00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:45,290 I want to turn Preview on just so I can see it while I'm working, 39 00:01:45,290 --> 00:01:46,790 go to Basic Character Formats. 40 00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:49,790 There's lots you can do in a paragraph style we're going to be 41 00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:53,320 working with and you will mainly use basic character formats. 42 00:01:53,315 --> 00:01:57,355 You can see in here Roboto Slab, yes, that's perfect, 43 00:01:57,350 --> 00:02:01,990 but what I would like to do is I'd like it to be bold. 44 00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:04,090 You can see it's being bold up there. 45 00:02:04,085 --> 00:02:06,985 Let's click "OK," so that's a different way of adjusting it. 46 00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:09,040 You either redefine by changing it, 47 00:02:09,035 --> 00:02:10,495 highlighting it, right-clicking it, 48 00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:12,850 redefining it or have nothing selected, 49 00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:15,380 double-click it, and then go and make your adjustments. 50 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:16,480 It doesn't really matter. 51 00:02:16,475 --> 00:02:18,745 That's bugging me, hyphen. 52 00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:23,730 Grab a tag tool, paragraph, hyphen gone. 53 00:02:23,725 --> 00:02:27,835 Nice. Now, the last thing we'll look at is something called clearing overrides, 54 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:29,330 and that just means that say, 55 00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:35,210 I've made this and I'm playing around with the tracking, 56 00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:36,590 which is the space between letters. 57 00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:39,140 Say, I'm going to make it really big. 58 00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:42,610 Let's say that it's adjusted, so you can see here, 59 00:02:42,605 --> 00:02:45,385 it's this but there's a little plus and it says, okay, 60 00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:47,750 it's the same except you can see in brackets there, 61 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:49,630 the tracking is at 320. 62 00:02:49,625 --> 00:02:52,415 There is a mistake. I'm like, "That's not meant to be like that. 63 00:02:52,415 --> 00:02:53,575 Why is that got a plus?" 64 00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:55,730 What I can do is I can right-click or 65 00:02:55,730 --> 00:02:57,890 just use this button down here that says Clear Overrides, 66 00:02:57,890 --> 00:03:00,740 and all it does is get rid of the things that 67 00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:03,730 aren't part of the original paragraph style. 68 00:03:03,730 --> 00:03:05,810 Cool. Let's say now that we've got this lock 69 00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:07,850 down and we'd like this and we're going to use it throughout 70 00:03:07,850 --> 00:03:12,530 this long document and other documents for this company that we're doing work for. 71 00:03:12,530 --> 00:03:16,130 What we want to do is add it to our CC library. 72 00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:19,280 Make sure we've got the Great at Heart Library selected up here, 73 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,020 and you got two ways I can have this selected. 74 00:03:22,015 --> 00:03:24,995 Click the little plus button like we did earlier and I can say I would like, 75 00:03:24,995 --> 00:03:27,025 I don't want Text Fill Color, it's already in there, 76 00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:30,280 but I want the paragraph style, and I can click "Add". 77 00:03:30,275 --> 00:03:33,715 There's my Great at Heart subheading or you can do this. 78 00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:35,290 I'm going to select all of these guys. 79 00:03:35,285 --> 00:03:36,655 They're on the spacing paragraph, 80 00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:39,090 that's nothing, and I'm going to click this little icon here. 81 00:03:39,090 --> 00:03:40,210 They will go across. 82 00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:41,810 Now the cool thing about that, remember, 83 00:03:41,810 --> 00:03:44,260 is that it doesn't matter what document I have opened now, 84 00:03:44,255 --> 00:03:46,485 all of these guys will come along for the ride. 85 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,650 Unfortunately, I had something selected at the same time, 86 00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:51,580 so it's applied, body copy to it back to subheading. 87 00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:54,580 But at least we're getting the hang of these paragraph styles, aren't we? 88 00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:57,860 They're super useful and you're going to get documents that 89 00:03:57,860 --> 00:04:01,250 have them already and you need to know how to adjust them and use them, 90 00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:03,430 especially when you're working on longer documents. 91 00:04:03,425 --> 00:04:08,245 If though, you are a designer who works on really small flyers, postcards, 92 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,190 little social media posts, 93 00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:13,340 then you're probably not going to use paragraph styles like you should. 94 00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:15,560 But when the text is so small and you're doing 95 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200 so many custom stuff, everything's different, 96 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,380 then there might not be any reason to use paragraph styles, 97 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:26,600 but as soon as you get into more than one page or consistent monthly newsletters, 98 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,340 then paragraph styles are the way forward.
