You can apply fitting presets on selected paragraph or on the entire text, in body text or in a headline.
Several application methods are available. Any method can be run by a menu command, or hot-key. Some of methods prompt users to select a fitting preset, while other use predefined, or default presets (if available) In particular, methods P01, P04, P08 and P11 require default preset to be assigned to either style or format; the method T01 requires default preset to be assigned to the format.
All the below methods are available during text editing (in Ted4, or in Fred4).
