To create a nested style, what must have been created previously?

• A. Object style
• B. Character style and paragraph style
• C. Paragraph style only
• D. Character style only

Answer: (B)

Nested styles are defined inside a paragraph style and rely on a preexisting character style. To create one, you must have both a paragraph style and at least one character style already created. The paragraph style acts as the container that holds the nested style definition, specifying which portion of the paragraph should adopt the formatting of the chosen character style. The character style provides the actual formatting to be applied. Without a paragraph style, there’s no place to define the nested rule; without a character style, there’s nothing to apply. Object styles aren’t involved here because nested styles apply to text within a paragraph, not to objects.
