Grouping styles

In some environments, you may be working with different groups of styles, which naturally belong together. For example, an agency may have a number of different clients each with their own styles, and within a company, you may have multiple brands, each with their own unique styles.

Grouping is a nice easy way for you to keep these styles together and more easily manage them.

Getting ready

In order to complete this recipe, simply open InDesign on your system and create a new document with 12 pages, as shown in the Creating a new document recipe in Chapter 1. You should be comfortable creating and applying paragraph styles as shown in the Creating paragraph styles recipe.

How to do it

In order to group styles together, just follow these steps:

  1. Start by creating a number of separate paragraph styles with the following names:
    • Brand 1 Header

    • Brand 1 Body Copy
    • Brand 2 Header
    • Brand 2 Subheader
    • Brand 2 Body Copy
