Using Styles in Grid 3
Updating a Style
The standard resources in Grid 3 (e.g Super Core) use cell styles to help identify the word class of each cell. To view these styles, go to Edit > Style and select the drop-down list. We follow the Fitzgerald Key to colour code nouns, verbs and adjectives etc – for example verbs are green.
However, if you don’t follow this colour code and want to change how a certain word class appears, you can do this quickly in Edit mode:
- Select a cell from the style
- Make the desired edits (e.g change the colour or font size)
- Select Update Style from the menu
- This will update the formatting for all the cells in that style universally
Creating a New Style
You can also create your own styles in Grid 3 using the New Style option under the Style tab.
For example, if you wanted to distinguish between types of verbs, you could make a new style just for small verbs:
- Update the style of a cell in the group
- Select New Style from the menu
- Name the New Style and press OK
- Now select the remaining cells (in this case: be, can, do and have)
- Apply your new style
