Section Style Settings

Open Customize Section Settings from a section’s Options menu to change how a single section behaves, without touching the rest of your book. The panel has two tabs: Text and Display.

Text

These override your book-wide typography for this section only. Each one starts on Default until you change it.

• Indent All Paragraphs. Whether this section’s paragraphs are indented: Default, Enabled, or Disabled. This also decides which paragraph spacing applies.

Under First Paragraph:

• Indent First Paragraph. Whether the opening paragraph after a heading is indented (Default, Enabled, Disabled). Turn this off when you use a drop cap.
• Drop Cap. Whether this section opens with a drop cap (Default, Enabled, Disabled).
• First Line Style. Styling for the first line: Default, Disabled, or Small Caps.

Display

Choose which parts of the heading appear for this section:

• Show Title in Header
• Show Subtitle in Header
• Show Image in Header

Apply or Reset

At the bottom of the panel:

• Apply to Other Sections copies these settings to sections you choose.
• Reset to Defaults clears this section’s overrides and returns it to your book-wide settings.

Looking for title, subtitle, or spacing styles?

Those are not in this panel. To restyle a section’s heading, open its Options menu and choose Section Heading Styles, then Heading Title, Heading Subtitle, or Heading Spacing.
