Changing all instances of one color to another color
To globally change all items of one color to another color, either edit the color you
want to change to the desired color or choose Edit > Colors to display the Colors
dialog box, and select the name of a color to edit; then click Edit, and make your
changes.
When you are globally changing all items and text from one color to another, remember
to save your work before you do so. That way, if you accidentally change everything
to the wrong color, you can simply choose File > Revert to Saved to undo the error
without losing any of your other work.
Applying color, shade, and blends
There are three ways to apply colors and shades to boxes, frames, and pictures:
• (Windows only) Use the Box and Frame tabs of the Modify dialog box (Item > Modify).
• Use the Colors palette (Window > Colors).
• Use the Measurement palette.
You can apply color to the dark areas of black-and-white bitmap and grayscale pictures
by choosing the Color command (Style > Color) when a picture box containing a
picture in one of these formats is active.
Using the Colors palette to create blends
A blend is a transition from one color to another. You can use the Colors palette to
specify the two blend colors, their shades, the pattern in which they blend, and the
angle at which they blend relative to the box. A blend can contain any two colors
available in a project.

• You can apply color and shade using the Style > Color and Style > Shade commands.
• You can use the Colors palette (Window > Colors).
• You can use the Character Style Sheet command (Style > Character Style Sheet) to
apply color and shade to selected text using character style sheets you have created.
