Is there a way to create a small-caps character style in Pages 6? Cross-post from discussions.apple.com.

As the title says: I have a paragraph style for the main body of my document. Within a paragraph, there are some words that need to be in small caps. From my playing around, it seems as if "small caps" can be an attribute of a paragraph style but not a character style—and of course, if I set some words to a different paragraph style the entire paragraph changes, which is not what I want.

I want this to be in a character style so I can quickly enter into it with a function-key shortcut. I am aware that I can set small-caps on and off by clicking into a menu.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to make this character style possible?
To create a new style, you need to have some text with ONLY that style selected: if in the style inspector the "Characters Styles" dropdown menu shows "multiple styles" or "none" or the name of an existing style WITHOUT a trailing '*', the "new style" button will be grayed out.
