You create a custom style by collecting formatting information from any of
the following:
1
an element in a text, draw, or spreadsheet document (such as text
or objects)
1
a style that’s already on the stylesheet palette
1
the document controls you’d normally use to format text and objects (such
as the tools, palettes, ruler, paragraph controls, and menu commands)
To add a custom style to the stylesheet palette, click on the Default button
bar (or choose Show Stylesheet from the Window menu) to show the stylesheet
palette. Then click the New button on the stylesheet palette. In the New Style
dialog box, set the options you want, and then click OK.
You see the pointer for editing styles when you exit the New Style dialog
box (unless you selected Inherit document selection format). If you want to edit the
style now, see “Editing styles” on page 9-13. If you don’t want to edit the
style, click Done on the stylesheet palette.
Tip If you choose Default from the Based on pop-up menu in the New Style
dialog box, your style will contain many preset formatting properties. To see
these properties, open the stylesheet palette, select the Default style, and then
click the Edit button. Click Done when you’re finished.
