How to set redacted text on content on a style
-
Open the topic style sheet that you want to modify.
-
Complete one of the following sets of steps, depending on whether you want to use the Simplified view or Advanced view in the Stylesheet Editor.
- Simplified The Simplified view is better for new users. It provides an easier way to apply properties to styles, with format options available from a toolbar (similar to the way one would use the Text Format toolbar to change the look topic content without a style). In many cases, only the most common property options are available in the Simplified view (e.g., font, letter/word spacing, paragraph alignment/indentation, auto-numbering format, borders, background). One advantage of the Simplified view is that you can apply a property to multiple styles at the same time. You can also click a check box to hide the properties in the editor, allowing you to see only the styles.
- Advanced The Advanced view displays style classes and properties in hierarchical tree structures. It is not as quick as using the Simplified view, but it allows you to edit a great deal more settings than are available in the Simplified view.
Warning: When editing styles, make sure the proper medium is selected in the Stylesheet Editor before you begin (you can do this from the Medium drop-down list). Flare remembers the last medium that you used when working in the style sheet, so it may or may not be the one that you want to use the next time around. If you want all mediums to use the same setting, select the "default" medium and the properties will "trickle down" to the other mediums. If you are not using different mediums, you do not need to worry about selecting one when you edit styles.

instead, then click it. - In the upper-left corner of the Stylesheet Editor, make sure the Show Styles field
