Add, rename, or delete paragraph styles

To add a new style, you first modify the text of a paragraph in your presentation to look the way you want, then create the new style based on that text.

1. Select the text you want to base your new paragraph style on.

2. Click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar on the right.

   If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have a Text tab, click in the toolbar.

3. Click the paragraph style name at the top of the sidebar, then click at the top of the Paragraph Styles pop-up menu.

   A new style with a placeholder name appears in the pop-up menu.

   

4. Type a name for the new style, then click outside the menu to close it.

1. Click any text.

2. Click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar on the right, then click the paragraph style name at the top of the sidebar.

   If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have a Text tab, click in the toolbar.

3. In the Paragraph Styles pop-up menu, move the pointer over the style name you want to change, then click the arrow that appears.

   

4. Choose Rename Style, then enter a new name.

You can delete a style from the Paragraph Styles list that isn’t being used in your presentation. You might want to do this to simplify the pop-up menu to include just the styles you use most.

1. Click any text.

2. Click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar on the right, then click the paragraph style name at the top of the sidebar.

   If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have a Text tab, click in the toolbar.

3. In the Paragraph Styles pop-up menu, move the pointer over the name of the style you want to delete, then click the arrow that appears.

4. Choose Delete Style.

   

If you try to delete a style that’s being used, you’re asked to choose a style to replace the one you’re deleting.
