What's The Difference?A character style sheet contains only character attributes: font, type style, point size, color, shade, horizontal/vertical scale, tracking, and baseline shift. A character style sheet can be applied to one or more characters. A paragraph style sheet, on the other hand, contains paragraph formats, tabs, and rules. It derives its character attributes from the character style sheet that's currently associated with it. A paragraph style sheet can only be applied to entire paragraphs. |
