There are two questions here and I can split this post into two if necessary.
But, first things first. Here are the versions currently in play:
OL: 7.4.2.3
Mac OS: 10.13.6
I am working on style inheritances and have a question.
I noticed that if you change a parent style’s font, it changes the children.
Fair enough. I see where that would be useful.
However, in my case, I would like SOME children to inherit and some not to. Is that possible?
By way of explanation, my default paragraph style had gobs of children. They only attribute I want to propagate, really, is font size so that the children resize to the relative to the parent.
However, some children have children. Among these I would like the fonts to propagate should I decide to change them. This mostly applies to styles that exist to dispense with direct formatting like Text Message and Text Message Right, (Text Message being the parent there) where they are identical save the alignment.
Is this possible, or do I just have to edit carefully?
Side note: To me it would be helpful to allow the use to decide attribute by attribute what is inherited from the parent. That said, I realize there might be a whole host of reasons that is not, or can not be done.
The other question is simple. For a few paragraph styles, mostly title pages, I would like the font size to scale according to page size. So the font would be X on 8.5 x 11 paper and X-n, or n% of X on 6 x 9 paper. That way I can change the page size and not have to tinker with some of paragraph styles. Can that be done?
TIA;
