How to see what Preset is applied to the text?

[PedroFromAus]

Hi folks,
Is there any way to see what Preset is currently applied to a paragraph? Clicking in the text and going to menu Format/Formatting/Apply Preset I expected to see the current Preset ticked or otherwise highlighted, but no. I can’t find anything in the Inspector that shows the current Preset either.

Am I missing something?

Many thanks!

As noted in a call out box in the introduction to Formatting Presets in the user manual:

Presets are not Stylesheets: If you are familiar with using stylesheets from traditional word processors, you might be looking for something similar in Formatting Presets. While presets do make the propagation of formatting easier, they do not assign the target text with any kind of named range, like stylesheets do, so that they can be universally updated centrally by the stylesheet. Once applied, the text merely ends up looking as the preset ordains it to, with no further connection to that preset. It is thus a good idea to make sure you have your formats locked down as close as possible, if you intend to use this feature to generate output-ready content.

Thanks, AmberV! I understand now.
