Adobe InDesign is a design and publishing application that you can use to create print and digital publications. When you create a document using InDesign, the font, text size and other formatting characteristics are determined by your default style settings. You can change these formatting defaults by applying changes at the character-by-character or paragraph-by-paragraph level. You can remove any formatting changes you've made to your InDesign document using the program's Paragraph Styles menu.
