Apply paragraph styles

A paragraph style is a set of attributes—like a font size and color—that determines how text looks. Using paragraph styles helps you keep text formatting consistent throughout your document. For example, if you apply the paragraph style Heading to text, that text automatically matches other headings that use that style.

Every Pages template includes predesigned paragraph styles.
