+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3154650" xml-lang="en-US">Character styles provide a way to customize the formatting for individual characters. Use character styles when you want to change the appearance or attributes of a character, word or selected part of a paragraph. When you apply a character style to a text selection, the properties defined in the character style override the corresponding paragraph properties, changing the appearance and other attributes of the selection, depending on the definitions in the character style.</paragraph>
+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id541610673006306">For example, if you apply a character style with 15pt font size to a selected part of a paragraph that is formatted with 12pt font size, either directly or with a paragraph style, then the selection appears with 15pt font size, while the rest of the paragraph remains with 12pt font size. If you remove the applied character style, by applying the Default Character Style, then the paragraph properties of the selection are applicable again.</paragraph>
+<note id="par_id391610540540289">It can be useful to define character styles for particular kinds of content, such as page numbers, footnote numbers, hyperlinks, dates, words in different languages.</note>
