Well, I have to say Graham has a point there, and I'm not going to write your code for you, but what I do goes something like this:
1. Get the current typing attributes from my NSTextView (as an NSDictionary) 2. Make a mutable copy (as an NSMutableDictionary) 3. Retrieve the current NSParagrahpStyle from the dictionary (using NSParagraphStyleAttributeName as a key) 4. Make a mutable copy of that (as an NSMutableParagraphStyle) 5. Adjust this as desired (refer to docs) 6. Add it to the NSMutableDictionary (again with key NSParagraphStyleAttributeName) 7. Pass the dictionary to NSTextView's setTypingAttributes method 8. Release your mutable copies You can do something similar (using NSFont and NSFontAttributeName) if you want to change the font (which might be what you're after, I'm not sure). If none of this makes any sense to you, you need to do some background reading (it's not something you can do in 5 minutes) and then write youself a little test program. Mine is called Cocoa Testbench, and it taught me a lot. As an aside, I remember when I first started learning Cocoa how tiring I found it, mentally (I am not the youngest of spring chickens). There is a lot to know. I think it's Hillegass who recommends getting plenty of sleep. His book "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" might be worth buying (that will be $5 please Aaron :).
