Safe Style Editing
If you have the Type tool in a text frame and realize you want to edit a Paragraph or Character Style but don’t want to apply that style to the selected text or paragraph, select Shift-Option-Command (Mac) or Shift-Alt-Ctrl (PC) and double-click on the style name you wish to change. Alternately, Control- or right-click on the style name in the panel and choose Edit “Style Name.” This tip applies to InDesign CS2 and above.
