Style

The first section of the Style dialogue box contains the style name and so is set for every style. It is also used to assign control key shortcuts to styles.

About style names

You may give a style any length of name you like, although in practice you will want to see the name clearly in the style list, which means that 25 characters is the practical limit.

You may use any alphanumeric characters (i.e. letters of the alphabet and the ten numerals 0-9) in style names. Style names are not case sensitive, so you cannot create different styles called heading and Heading.

You may use spaces and the underscore character (_) in style names, but no other punctuation marks or symbols.

When you create a new style, Fireworkz will suggest the style name NewStyle1. However, it is always a good idea to give a style a name which reminds you of the purpose of the style, or the attributes set in it.

Control key shortcuts

You can assign control key shortcuts to frequently used styles. To do this go to the Style section of the Style editor and choose one of the key short cuts available. You can use Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F11, Shift-F1 to Shift-F11, and Ctrl-Shift-F1 to Ctrl-Shift-F11.

Control key shortcuts can be used instead of the Style button and selector. So to change style at the caret you would press Ctrl-F2 (or whichever number was needed) rather than clicking the Style button and then choosing a style from the list.
