font-neutral style?

Post by ncdobson »

I need a block quote style that is font-neutral, so that the quote itself appears in Greek (New Athena Unicode), w/ the citation in English (Palatino). So far I've only been able to get both quote & citation to appear in 1 font or the other. I then have to change 1 of them manually. Is it possible to have a font-neutral style? Thanks,

It is definitely possible to have a Block Quote style that does not change the font of any text it is applied to. If you already have the default Block Quote style in your document (eg: the one that comes from the standard Nisus New File), then simply change the based on property from Normal to None.

If you want to create your own "font neutral" Block Quote style from scratch:
1. Create a new Paragraph style (eg: use the menu Insert > New Style > Paragraph Style). This fresh style will have no attributes and will not be based on any other style.
2. Rename the style to whatever you like.
3. Adjust the ruler so it indents the text how you like.
