Using styles
To maintain visual consistency and simplify formatting, you use styles. You can
change object styles and paragraph styles to quickly modify graphics and text
throughout your document. You can create and save styles to use as part of a
template. For more information, see “Using templates” on page 114.
Object styles let you format graphics with preset stroke, fill, color, and halftone
attributes. These attributes are available in the Stroke inspector, the Fill inspector,
or the Halftones panel.
Text and paragraph styles let you format text and paragraphs with preset type
attributes; for more information, see “Using paragraph styles” on page 358.
Using the Styles panel
The Styles panel displays the current object styles and paragraph styles in your
document. You use the Styles panel to duplicate, remove, and edit object and
paragraph styles.
To display the Styles panel:
Choose Window > Panels > Styles.
