Multiple color font in paragraph
Multiple color font in paragraph
Is there a way to disable Auto Color in a paragraph style so I can have some words in red or blue in a paragraph with the rest black and not have them go back to black when adding or updating paragraph styles?
A style is a complete set of characteristics. All its components are always defined in this or that way (explicitly or implicitly).
A few words about the “(Re)Apply Style” feature of the latest Atlantis:
As a first step, Atlantis retrieves information about the background formatting of a paragraph. The background formatting of a paragraph is a formatting applied to the largest portion of this paragraph. For example, if 90% your paragraph are in Auto color, Atlantis assumes that the Auto color is a part of the background formatting of this paragraph. If this paragraph contains words formatted with another color, Atlantis assumes that you used this another color to emphasize those words.
So Atlantis distinguishes two types of formatting:
1) background formatting – a formatting of the largest portion of this paragraph,
2) foreground formatting – any other formatting used to emphasize smaller portions of this paragraph.
Let’s suppose that we have this paragraph:
There are two types of formatting.
Most words from this paragraph are non-bold and black. So Atlantis assumes that non-bold and black are a part of the background formatting of this paragraph.
The word “two” is bold and red. This word is formatted differently. Atlantis assumes that this additional formatting was used to emphasize this word. Consequently Atlantis assumes that “bold and red” is a foreground (additional) formatting.
When you apply or reapply a style to this paragraph, Atlantis always attempts to retain the original emphasizing when possible. For example, if you apply the standard Heading 1 style to this paragraph, Atlantis would reformat this paragraph in the following way:
There are two types of formatting.
As you see, the words which were initially associated with the background formatting (non-bold, Auto color), are now formatted exactly as specified for the Heading 1 style. The “two” was “bold and red”. Now its non-bold but still in red. In this was way this word is still clearly emphasized.
If your paragraph is completely in bold or red, Atlantis assumes that this is the background formatting of this paragraph. As said above, the background formatting is always replaced by the formatting of the style.
If you require paragraphs that should be always in red or in another color, you could create a new style for such paragraphs (for example “Normal + Red”). For this click such paragraph, then click the “Style” toolbar combo box, and type the name for a new style (for example, type “Normal + Red”), then press Enter. Atlantis would create a new style “Normal + Red”. This new style would have the characteristics of the current paragraph. Also the current paragraph would be automatically associated with this style.
