      Hi there.

      Is it possible in ID to effect text by scrolling through the font list to see the font effect on the text as you scroll? Using the cursor down key or something like that?

      Thank you

      Just tested on CS6 (Windows) and it works: 1) select the text, 2) put cursor on first font to test, 3) press down arrow on your keyboard.

        Thanks for your help Guz. I must be a real dumbass! I am trying that but the text isn’t changing. I tried the instructions in the link as well but no use.

      Make a paragraph style for the text.

      Then apply that style

      With nothing selected choose Edit Paragraph Style, and cycle through the fonts.
