Overview

You can configure your document's default* text/font styles (Normal, Headings 1-5) in their multiple font settings:

  • Font;
  • Font size;
  • Bold;
  • Italic;
  • Underlined;
  • Text's colour.

Pre-conditions

  • Document Level Permission: 'Owner', 'Editor'.
  • The current stage allows editing.
  • If the document is created from a template, that template is currently not enforcing its heading text styles (How to Enforce Heading Text Styles).

Steps

Custom Method:

  1. Click Format in the menu bar.
  2. Select Text styles.
  3. Click the paragraph style to configure font for.
  4. Configure font.
  5. Click Save.

Template Inheritance Method:

  1. Click Format in the menu bar.
  2. Select Text styles.
  3. Toggle the Inherit text styles to documents created from this template* button.
  4. Click Save.

Notes

  • Once Inherit text styles to documents created from this template is selected, all documents created/attached from/to the template will inherit heading settings which cannot be adjusted on a document level.
  • The numbering of a paragraph will be fixed to the corresponding document text style, so even if a document user selects a specific paragraph and changes its text style through the Formatting Toolbar (so not through the Text Styles window), the paragraph text style will change but not the numbering style.
