Working with styles and style sets
CorelDRAW provides advanced style capabilities that allow you to format your documents with speed, ease, and consistency. You can create
and apply styles and style sets to different types of objects: graphic objects, artistic and paragraph text, callout and dimension objects, and
any objects created with the Artistic Media tools.
Styles and style sets are groups of attributes that determine the appearance of objects. When you apply a style or style set to an object, all
the attributes defined in that style are applied to the object in one step. That is how you can format simultaneously many different objects
and significantly reduce your set-up and production time. What is more, when you edit a style or style set, all the objects defined by that
style are automatically updated.
You can also export styles and style sets as style sheets for use in other documents, or import them from previously saved style sheets.
Styles simplify the task of formatting objects by saving time and ensuring a consistent look.
