Applying a Text Style

There are two ways to apply a text style to text. The first method is to select a style in the
Library. The advantage of using the Library is that you can preview the style before it is
applied to text. The second method is to apply the style in the Text Inspector using the
Style Preset pop-up menu. This section discusses both methods.
