Now you can change the name of your style sheet and set your type anyway you want. In this case I have chosen the font Papyrus Regular, size 48pt. I then went to the Character Colour options and set the colour to Cyan. You can obviously change any of the other options at will, but this is just an example to show you how Character Styles work.
