Selecting Formats
 
You can select a format by clicking on the name of a format in the Formats window. The current format is indicated by a highlighted background.
Your selection has two effects:
it changes selected text elements
 
it changes the selected format to the current format.
This allows you to change existing text elements. Use the Arrow tool or the text tool to select the text elements to which you want to assign a different text format. Then select the required text format.
The current format, on the other hand, functions as a preference for those text elements you still have to write.
