Item Styles
Item Styles lets you save collections of item attributes — including color, border
style, line width, picture scale, and text inset — as named styles that you can
apply from a palette.
The Item Styles feature adds the Item Styles palette (Window > Item Styles), the
Edit Item Styles dialog box (Edit > Item Styles), and the Item Styles Usage dialog
box (Utilities > Item Styles Usage).
Item Styles do not affect locked attributes of items (position, story, or
picture). For example, if you apply an Item Style to an item whose position is
locked (Item > Lock > Position), the item will not move according to any X, Y
values specified in the Item Style. When the item is selected, the name of its
Item Style will display with a + next to the name.
Do not use Item Styles with the Shared Content and Composition Zones
features.
Item Styles does not support tables.
