    You can change several type layers at the same time in CS5 by selecting all of them and making the change.

    But this seams even easier!

    Hi Martin,

    There’s one thing you didn’t mention. If you create a new style, how do you apply it to other paragraphs and more importantly how do you apply it to different paragraphs inside the same textbox?

    I tried to use this feature as in Indesign by selecting the portions of text that I want to apply the style to and it simply doesn’t work. Seems like it needs to be improved.

    If i’m missing something here please let me know.

    Thanks!

      Hi,

      it’s very easy make an paragraph style and save it (dj file name) where you want. Then go into the any file where you want to apply style which u have save previously… like name dj… open paragraph style palette and just click at option load paragraph styles… click here and load your style… thats’ it…

        Hey, thanks but this does not answer the question. I am also confused about this. If I create a paragraph style, and then want to apply that style to another text box that I already have in the document, how to do that?

  • Some Guy

    That was feature I always wanted, I wonder why they didn’t include it in early versions. Had to paste smart objects with text from Illustrator so I could use styles.

  • Mirko

    what if I want to use certain paragraph styles in different documents without having to create them everytime I open a new document? Such a non-sense to me this can’t be done, why is it document-based?? Good tutorial anyways, thanks
