Setting Up Paragraph Styles

Hello,

 

I'm new to setting up paragraph styles. I'm creating a new template and I'm hoping to establish my fonts before I get to work on a new document. Can I do this, or do I need to set up paragraph styles once the document is already put together? 

 

I guess my question is: Do paragraph styles get set up before a document is put together, or after? 

 

Thanks for any help!

Either can work, but it makes sense to plan and build your paragraph styles near the beginning. It indicates you have a design plan.

That makes sense, thank you. So you want to have your entire draft mapped out before using paragraph styles it sounds like.

Mike is correct, but that doesn't mean you can't add new styles as you go. Sometimes you don't realize you needed a particular style until you come across it in the design.
