Changing the text properties of the assignable unit

The default text properties are inherited from the title properties by default. This includes the text style, text color, font, font color, font size, hypertext link color, and the text highlighting. Changes applied to the default text properties within your assignable unit's properties will only be applied to the pages contained within the assignable unit.
