Operation Manual

Pictures, Lines, and Shapes 197
• Any time you want to alter some aspect of a style (for example,
change the line color), you simply change the style definition.
Instantly, all objects in your publication sharing that style update
accordingly.
• Object styles you've saved globally appear not only in the original
publication but in any new publication, so you can reuse exactly the
same attractive combination of attributes for any subsequent design
effort.
The Styles tab contains multiple
galleries of pre-designed styles
that you can apply to any object,
or customize to suit your own
taste! Galleries exist in effect
categories such as Blurs, 3D,
Edge, Warps, Shadows,
Materials (e.g., metals) and
more, with each category having
further subcategories.
To apply an object style to one or more objects:
1. Display the Styles tab.
2. Expand the drop-down menu to select a named style category (e.g.,
Blurs), then pick a subcategory by scrolling the lower window.
3. Preview available styles as thumbnails (cog shapes are shown by
default) in the window.
4. Click a style thumbnail to apply it to the selected object(s).
To remove an object style from a gallery:
• Right-click the thumbnail and choose Delete.
