select it.

The format of the object, layout part, or layout background returns to the appearance it had
when you began making changes. The arrow changes to gray

the style drop-down menu.

How FileMaker Pro displays formatting attributes
Deleting layout object, part, or background styles
You can delete custom styles from database files. If you delete a custom style that is applied to
objects on a layout, the objects revert to the default style for that object. You can’t delete the default
styles that come with FileMaker Pro.
To delete an object, layout part, or background style:
• In Layout mode, click Inspector in the layout bar, then do one of the following:
• Click the Styles tab, and select Show All. Pause the arrow pointer over the style you
want to delete, click
, and choose Delete Style.
• Select an object that has the style you want to delete, and click the Appearance tab in
the Inspector. For Style, click
and choose Delete Style.
