box in Windows or a hyphen in Mac OS) will leave drop shadow out of the style, so any drop shadow applied to the style does not appear as an

Object style categories
A. Turned on B. Ignored C. Turned off
Categories in which the settings can be turned on or off individually, such as Fill, Stroke, and Transparency, have only two states. They can
either be turned on or ignored.
The Paragraph Styles category is ignored by default, even if you’re creating a text frame. This category is applicable only if the object is an
unthreaded text frame.
Apply object styles
If you apply an object style to a group of objects, the object style is applied to each object in the group. To apply an object style to a group of
objects, nest the objects within a frame. (The Edit > Paste Into command is one way to paste an object into a frame.)
1. Select an object, frame, or group.
2. Click an object style in the Control panel or the Object Styles panel to apply a style.
If you choose Clear Overrides When Applying Style from the Object Styles panel, clicking an object style clears overrides by default. If this option
is not selected, you can Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the object style to clear overrides while applying the style.
You can also drag an object style onto an object to apply the style without first selecting the object.
If a group is selected when you apply an object style, the style is applied to each object in the group.
Once you apply a style, you can apply other settings to the object as needed. Although you may override a setting defined in the style, you do not
lose the connection to the style.
Use default object styles
For each new document, the Object Styles panel lists a default set of object styles. Whenever you create an object, an object style is applied to it.
By default, if you create a text frame, the [Basic Text Frame] object style is applied. If you draw a path or shape, the [Basic Graphics Frame]
object style is applied. If you place an image or draw a placeholder shape that has an X in it, the [None] object style is applied. You can select a
different object style to use as the default for text frames and graphics frames.
