Note
In most cases you will not need to configure the parameters of every page;
for example, to create a simple line style you will probably only use 3 of
the 15 pages.
Creating a new graphics style from a selection
You can create a new style from manually formatted text or graphics:
1) Select the item you want to save as a style. If the selected object is already
styled, then the new style will be linked to such style.
2) In the Styles and Formatting window, click the New Style from Selection
icon, highlighted in Figure 125.

3) In the Create Style dialog box that pops up, type a name for the new style. The
list shows the names of existing custom styles of the selected type. Click OK to
save the new style.
