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).
RoboHELP also lists a number of additional styles that are not in our style sheet. Only use the styles in this list.
