Paragraph Styles This section illustrates the AWAS paragraph styles, which are used for semantic purposes such as: Frontmatter Headings Body text Bulleted and numbered lists Notes Definitions Code Graphics Tables Spacers User stories Backmatter Throughout this section, we present examples of the styles. You can find many additional examples by examining the way in which we have applied the styles to the text throughout this book. NOTE: The following is a general instruction for applying Word paragraph styles, not specific to AWAS. It is especially important to avoid problems when using ePublisher to process Word documents. When you apply a paragraph style, be sure that the selection is a simple insertion point, or that you have selected the entire paragraph. Do not apply a paragraph style when a part of a paragraph is selected. If you do so, Word applies only the character formats of the style to the selected text; it does not apply the paragraph formats of the style.
