    How do you apply more than one paragraph style within one text box?

    For example, I have two different sections I want to identify within a text box (header, page number, desription). However, when I highlight the page number for example and apply a paragraph style, it applies to the WHOLE text box. Why is this happening? Please help, thank you.

    You need to use the Type tool to select the text first. Place the cursor in the paragraph you want to change.

    I did it and it applies it to everything UNLESS I hit “enter” and separate it into different paragraphs. However, this is for an assignment and I am not allowed to have double returns.

    If you want spaces between paragraphs do NOT use a double return. Your teacher/lecturer is right. Instead, give paragraphs either a space before or a space after using the “Indents and Spacing” tab when defining a paragraph style.

    The fact that paragraph styles are being applied to the whole contents of your text box suggests to me that you are not, in fact, using return to start a new paragraph but, rather, a soft return (achieved by holding down Shift as you hit Return. Everything either side of a soft return is still part of the same paragraph.
