+<h3>Applying Styles</h3>
+<p>There are 3 basic ways you might wish to apply a style – to all the text in a frame, to a paragraph at a time, or only to some part of the text.</p>
+
+<h4>To all the text in a frame</h4>
+<p>Select the frame, then go to the Properties palette Text tab and select the sub-tab <i>Style Settings</i>. You will see two drop down lists, one for Paragraph Style and the other for Character Style. You can apply either to an entire frame. An applied character style will take precedence over the character style which is associated with the current paragraph style, but whatever paragraph style is current will continue to determine things like linespacing, indents, and tabulators. To remove the effects of an applied paragraph or character style, you must specifically select No Style from the drop down list.</p>
+
+<h4>To a paragraph at a time</h4>
+<p>A simple way to do this is to use the Story Editor (SE), where you have a selector to the left of the text, again a drop down list, for choosing paragraph styles. You cannot apply character styles in SE. Some other drawbacks with SE are that you must do these changes paragraph-by-paragraph, and can't simply select a number of paragraphs at once. You also have no visual feedback as to appearance until you update the frame, although you can do this without exiting SE.</p>
+
+<h4>To some part of the text</h4>
+<p>This is done in Edit Contents mode, easily achieved with the toolbar icon (keyboard shortcut E), or by double-clicking inside the frame, after which you see a blinking cursor in your text. Highlight text by using the mouse, or with a combination of using arrow keys and holding down Shift. 
+<p>Whether you highlight a small section or an entire paragraph, when you apply a paragraph style, it will be applied to the entire paragraph. Character styles by contrast will be applied only to the selected text. As mentioned above, once you have applied a character style, you cannot override it with an applied paragraph style, until you select <i>No Style</i> from the character style list.</p>
