Applying styles and style sets
When you apply a style or a style set to an object, the object takes on only the attributes that are defined by the style or style set. For
example, if you apply an outline style, the object outline changes while its other attributes stay the same.
You can apply styles and styles sets by using the Object styles docker and the Property manager docker.
In the Property manager docker, attributes which are defined by a style appear with a source indicator that is green and has a vertical line in
the middle . (The source indicator is the little square next to the attribute name.) If there is no style applied, the source indicator appears
blank . If there is an override of the applied style, the source indicator color is orange with a horizontal line in the middle .
To apply a style or style set to an object
1
Using the Pick tool , select an object.
2
Click Window Object styles.
3 In the Object styles docker, select a style or style set, and click Apply to selected.
To see a preview of the style or style set before applying it, point to it in the Object styles docker.
You can also apply a style by clicking a source indicator next to an object property (outline, fill, character, paragraph, or frame) in the
Property manager docker and choosing a style from the list of styles.
You can also apply a style or style set to a selected object by using any of the following methods:
• In the Object styles docker, double-click a style or style set.
• Right-click the object, choose Object styles, choose Apply style, and then choose a style or style set from the list.
• In the Object styles docker, right-click a style or style set, and choose Apply style or Apply style set.
• In the Object styles docker, select a style or style set, and drag it to the object.
Editing styles and style sets
You can edit a style or style set either by changing its attributes in the Object styles docker, or by changing the attributes of an object linked
to the style or style set, and then applying these changes to the style or style set.
You can also edit a style or style set by copying attributes from an object to the style or style set.
You can override style attributes. When you override an attribute, it is no longer related to the style definition, and changes to the style do
not affect the object until you remove the override.
