Introduction

This is what we'll tidy up in this episode: overriding in a paragraph, clearing overrides, redefining style, grouping style, and loading style from another document. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Over time, manual formatting often stacks on top of styles and makes the document inconsistent. This episode covers how to keep styles clean and well-organized. Open the article file.

Step 1: Recognize Override

Click on the third paragraph body. In the paragraph style panel, the body name is followed by a plus sign. The plus sign means there is manual formatting different from the style, for example, font size changed directly in the control panel.

Step 2: Clear Overrides

Hover the mouse over the style name to see the details of the difference. To remove the manual formatting, click the clear overrides icon at the bottom of the panel, or hold Alt while clicking the style name. The paragraph returns exactly as the style and the plus sign disappears.

Step 3: Redefine Style

Sometimes manual formatting is actually what we want. Change the paragraph body leading to 16 points, then open the paragraph style panel and choose redefine style. The body style is updated from that paragraph, and all body paragraphs change accordingly. If the style becomes too many, group them into folders.

Step 4: Group Styles

Click the create new style group icon and name it article. Drag the title, sub-title, and body styles into the group. The panel becomes more organized. To use styles from another document, open the panel menu and load paragraph style.

Step 5: Load Paragraph Styles

Select the magazine explorer file. The load style dialog displays a list of styles that can be checked. Select kicker, caption, and quote then OK. If there are styles with the same name, the conflict with existing style column offers two options.

Step 6: Name Conflict

Use incoming definition to override, or auto name to save both. Select as needed to avoid overriding existing styles.

Done!

Done. We have learned overrides, how to remove them with Clear Overrides, how to update styles with Redefine Style, creating style groups, and loading styles from other documents. In the next module, we will discuss colors, swatches, and effects. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
