198 Pictures, Lines, and Shapes
To unlink an object from its style definition:
• Right-click the object and choose Format>Object Style>Unlink.
If you've applied a style to an object but have lost track of the thumbnail—or
want to confirm which style is actually being used on an object—you can
quickly locate the thumbnail from the object.
To locate an object's style in the Styles tab:
• Right-click the object and choose Format>Object Style>Locate in
Studio.
The Styles tab displays the gallery thumbnail for the object's style.
Normally, a publication's object styles are just stored locally—that is, as part of
that publication; they don't automatically carry over to new publications. If
you've created a new style you'll want to use in another publication, you can
save it globally so that it will appear in the Styles tab each time you open a new
publication.
Saving Object Styles
To create a new object style based on an existing object's
attributes:
1. Right-click the object and choose Format>Object Style>Create.
The Style Attributes Editor dialog appears, with a tree listing object
attributes on the left and a preview region on the right (not shown).
