Changing a style using the Style dialog

To change an existing style using the Style dialog, right-click on the

required style in the Styles and Formatting window and select Modify

from the pop-up menu.

The Style dialog displayed depends on the type of style selected. Each

style dialog has several tabs. See the chapters on styles in the user

guides for details.

Updating a style from a selection

To update a style from a selection:

1) Open the Styles and Formatting window.

2) In the document, select an item that has the format you want to

adopt as a style.

Caution

Make sure that there are unique properties in this paragraph.

For example, if there are two different font sizes or font styles,

that particular property will remain the same as before.

3) In the Styles and Formatting window, select the style you want to

update (single-click, not double-click), then long-click on the

arrow next to the New Style from Selection icon and click on

Update Style.

Using AutoUpdate

AutoUpdate applies to paragraph and frame styles only. If the

AutoUpdate option is selected on the Organizer page of the Paragraph

Style or Frame Style dialog, applying direct formatting to a paragraph

or frame using this style in your document automatically updates the

style itself.
