Apply a paragraph style in Numbers on Mac
Using paragraph styles is a quick way to uniformly format text throughout a spreadsheet.
Note: You can’t apply a paragraph style to text in a table cell.
Apply a paragraph style
Click the text box or shape with the text you want to change or select specific text.
In the Format
sidebar, click the Text tab.Click the paragraph style name at the top of the sidebar, then choose a style from the Paragraph Styles menu.
If you later change the look of text that has a paragraph style applied to it — for example, you make the text bold or change its colour — an asterisk and in some cases an Update button, appears next to the style’s name in the Paragraph Styles menu, indicating that the style has an override. You can update the paragraph style to incorporate the overrides if you want.
You can also apply character styles and apply list styles to selected text.
Tip: For faster formatting, create keyboard shortcuts to apply styles to text.
