The workaround I've come to rely on is the Copy/Paste Format feature shortcut. Source: Acknowledging the comment by Chris Moschini above, who mentioned it first. It seems to store your character styles on an external web service, means you have to entrust them access to your documents the way you entrust them to Google now ….You can use both in parallel, but note that the 'Clear formatting' button (looks like ' T x') will remove custom style formatting from selected text. The original Google Docs style feature does not know about custom styles, considering all text with custom styles as having the 'Normal text' format.Probably not possible otherwise in the Google Docs API. The UI does not integrate with the Google Docs style UI.However it runs quite slow, even though recent versions improved on the performance already.For small-ish documents, it should be good to use :-)

I just tested it, and here's my first impression: The gratis Google Docs extension Paragraph Styles+ allows to create custom paragraph styles (plus decimal system outline numbering for headings and a table of contents with page numbering). Use the new menu item to format selected text ( Styles > Format Code).After authorizing the script, reload the original document.Var elements = selection.getRangeElements() įor (var i = 0 i Current Project's Triggers) Var selection = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection()

Copy the following code into the editor:.

Create a new script ( Tools > Script Editor).

This is a cleaned-up solution offered by using Google App Scripts to add a custom menu action: A lot of the solutions don't work inline.
