Introduction

This is what we'll build in this episode: a family of connected styles using Based On, and a Next Style sequence that formats the entire article with one click. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Large documents can have dozens of styles. Based On and Next Style connect these styles so that changes and formatting become automatic. Open an article file with existing body styles.

Step 1: Parent Style Fill

The body style contains Georgia 10.5 point, Justify, with Verse Line Indent. This style will become the parent for other text styles.

Step 2: Based On

Create a new style named Body Start for the first paragraph. In the General category, select Based On Body. Then in Indents and Spacing, set Verse Line Indent to 0. Body Start inherits all body settings except what we change.

Step 3: Downward Changes

Change the font of the body style to Palatino Linotype. The Body Start style also changes the font because it's based on the body style. The Verse Line Indent 0 remains unchanged. One change in the parent style propagates to the entire family of styles.

Step 4: Next Style

Open the title style and set Next Style to Body Start. Open Body Start and set Next Style to Body. Now, after typing the title and pressing Enter, the next paragraph automatically uses Body Start, then Body.

Step 5: Apply then Next Style

Select the entire article from the title to the last paragraph. Right-click the Title style in the panel and choose Apply Title 10 Next Style. The title, first paragraph, and next paragraph immediately receive their respective styles in one step.

Step 6: Checking the Style Chain

Click each paragraph and notice the highlighted style name in the Paragraph Style panel. The order of title, Body Start, and Body is automatically formed. With a chain like this, formatting long text becomes extremely fast.

Done!

Done. We've created a derived style using Based On, viewed the parent style changes cascading down to the child style, set Next Style, and formatted the text along with applying 10 Next Styles. In the next episode, we'll use Nested Style for automatic formatting within paragraphs. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
