Need to make a change in the attributes of a paragraph or character style? One easy way is to right-click on the style name in either the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel and choose Edit from the contextual menu. But there’s an even faster way. Just make the change you want to some text where the style has been applied in your document. Then to redefine the paragraph style (to incorporate the change you just made), press Command+Shift+Option+R/Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R.
Likewise, to quickly redefine a character style, select text where a style has been applied, make the desired change to the text, then press Command+Shift+Option+C/Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C.
