Possible to "copy" another text style into an existing one in the same document?

[turner111]

Let's say I have a document with a style called "Giant Cool Heading" and another style called "Style 1".

Style 1 has already been set up with color, size, underline, etc.

Is there a way I can somehow, within the same document, tell "Giant Cool Heading" to "copy" all the settings within "Style 1" ?

I realize I can delete Giant Cool Heading, replace it with Style 1, then rename it, but wondering if it can be done the way I described.

thanks

If I'm understanding you do this with the Duplicate Style command in the Paragraph Styles panel menu. It will create a new style using all the same properties as the original.

Hi Steve - thanks, but this won't work, because, as noted, both styles already exist in the document.

Yes, there is.

Go into Giant Cool Heading.

Change the "based on" setting to "Style 1".

Click on "Reset to Base"

Change the "based on" setting back to [No Paragraph Style] (or leave it as is).

Click OK.

Voila!

Nice! Thanks, this works.
