Operation Manual

210 Color, Fills, and Transparency
To select a color scheme:
1. Click the Schemes tab. The currently assigned scheme is highlighted
in the list.
2. Click a different color scheme sample. Objects in the publication that
have been assigned one of the five color scheme numbers are updated
with the corresponding color from the new scheme.
You can repeat this selection process indefinitely. When you save a publication,
its current color scheme is saved along with the document.
Applying scheme colors to objects
If you create new elements in a publication to which you have applied a color
scheme, or start a publication from scratch, how can you extend the current
color scheme to the new objects? Although you'll need to spend some time
working out which color combinations look best, the mechanics of the process
are simple. Recalling the paint-by-numbers example above, all you need to do is
assign one of the five current scheme color numbers to an object's line and/or
fill.
To assign a scheme color to an object:
1. Select the object and choose a Fill, Line, or Text
button at the top of the Swatches tab depending on the desired effect.
2. From the bottom of the Swatches tab, click on the scheme color that
you want to apply to the fill, line, or text (or you can drag the color
instead).
If an object's fill uses a scheme color, the corresponding sample in Swatches tab
will be highlighted whenever the object is selected.
