Copying, pasting, and deleting styles and properties

You can duplicate and delete styles, and move them between documents.
You can also cut or copy properties and move them to another style.

Note You cannot cut or delete a style that is in use.

Start by clicking

on the Default button bar (or choosing Show Stylesheet

from the Window menu) to show the stylesheet palette. Then click the Edit
button on the stylesheet palette.

Note You cannot cut, copy, or paste substyles. If you want to change or copy
information contained in a substyle, edit or copy its properties.

Importing and exporting styles

You can export all or some of the styles on a stylesheet palette to a separate
file, and import them into other documents. This is useful if you want to
reuse your favorite styles in other documents, or establish formatting
standards for everyone in your organization to use and share.

Choose Index from the

or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

Do this

Cut or copy a style

Select a style and choose Cut Style or Copy Style from the
stylesheet palette’s Edit menu.

Paste a style

Cut or copy a style, and then choose Paste Style from the
stylesheet palette’s Edit menu. If the style you’re
pasting has the same name as another style on the
palette, you see a dialog box. Type a new name for the
style, and then click Rename.

Delete a style

Select a style and then choose Clear Style from the
stylesheet palette’s Edit menu. (You can’t delete a style
that other styles are based on, or any style that is in use
in the current document.)

Cut, copy, or delete properties

Select a style, click Edit, and then select one or more
properties. Then, choose Cut Properties, Copy Properties, or
Clear Properties from the stylesheet palette’s Edit menu.

Paste properties

menu.
