Creating a new graphics style using the Style dialog box
Choose the Graphics Styles icon at the top of the Styles and Formatting window.
To link a new style with an existing style, first select that style, and then right-click
and choose New. Otherwise, select Default, then right-click and choose New.
Figure 123: Linking a new
style with an existing style
As discussed in the preceding section, when styles are linked, changing the font will
change it in all the linked styles. Sometimes this is exactly what you want; at other
times you do not want the changes to apply to all the linked styles. It pays to plan
ahead.

The Graphics style dialog box consists of 14 pages (15 if Asian language support has
not been enabled) that may be grouped as follows:
The Organizer page contains a summary of the style and its hierarchical
position.
The Font, Font Effects, Indents & Spacing, Alignment, Tabs and Asian
typography pages set the properties of the text inserted in a text box or in an
graphic object.
The Dimensioning page is used to set the style of dimension lines.
The Text, Text animation, Connector, Line, Area, Shadowing, and Transparency
pages determine the formatting of a graphic object and are discussed
elsewhere in this chapter.
