The Character Style to Face Markup Conversion section of Cleanup covers two types of character styles:

  • Built-in Styles

  • User-Defined Styles

When Built-in Styles is checked, Word’s built-in character styles are converted to plain face markup.

Note

This conversion may exclude the Word character styles for “Hyperlink,” “Footnote Reference,” “Endnote Reference,” and “Comment Reference,” depending on your configuration.

When User-Defined Styles is checked, any cases of user-defined character styles (e.g. ???) are converted to plain face markup. This conversion is most important for preparing the document for advanced processing functions.

What’s the difference between Paragraph Styles and Character Styles?

Short answer: Paragraph Styles are used to format and semantically identify each element of your manuscript at the paragraph level. While Character Styles apply uniquely identifying formatting to a word or phrase within the paragraph.

To find out more about their differences, see our blog post What We Mean When We Talk About Styles and Tags. To find out more about creating semantic structure, check out our 3-part series, Creating Semantic Structure.
