You cannot apply a style to single characters or words within a paragraph—the selected style is applied to the whole paragraph.
A paragraph style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to a paragraph to quickly change its appearance. Using styles, you can apply a group of formats in one simple task. For example, instead of taking three separate steps to format your title as 16 pt, Arial and bold, you can achieve the same result in one step by applying the Title style.
To apply a style to paragraphs in a document:
Open the required document in Detail View.
Select or click in the paragraph you want to format.
On the Format menu, click Paragraph Style.
Click the required style.
The style is applied to the paragraph.

You can define the paragraph styles for your project — for example, you can select a style and define its font, size and color. These styles apply to all new documents but are not applied to existing documents. Refer to Defining Paragraph Styles for more information.
When importing documents with paragraph styles already applied (using Microsoft Word), the styles are also imported and available for use in the imported document.
You can use paragraph styles to quickly code your documents. NVivo will automatically create nodes from the paragraphs in a selected style and code the text under the style at the node. Refer to Auto Code by Paragraph Style for more information.
