Styles Test

This topic describes when to use the paragraph and character styles defined in master.css.

If you look at this topic in RoboHELP's WYSIWYG pane, you can see what the styles will look like when you work with them. (Note, however, that the Normal style appears larger in the table.) To see how the styles look in compiled Help, click the View button (the blue glasses).
