: Indesign paragraph style copy attributes from "based on" I have an Indesign template with a paragraph style called Main defined as below: As you can see, this style is "based on" yet another
I have an Indesign template with a paragraph style called Main defined as below:
As you can see, this style is "based on" yet another style called Word which is in a styles-folder called Entry. And this is just one of a dozen-odd styles, all "based on" other styles from that folder. In order to reduce the obvious clutter and redundancy, I wish to delete all styles defined in that folder and just retain the ones that are derived off of them. Is there any easy way to copy all style definitions from one style to another, e.g., from the style named Entry to the one named Main in this example?

If you choose No Style for the Based On field all references to other styles get removed. However all formatting will be retained.
Based upon your question, I believe you can set the Based On to No Style and be set. This way all the original "Word (Entry)" style formatting will still be applied to "Main". However, if you change the "Word (Entry)" style, "Main" will no longer change as well.
You'll see the update in the Style Settings area once you set Based On to No Style.
If this does not do what you want, you can duplicate the "Word(Entry)" style, change it and title it "Main" -- same thing essentially.
