Opening the Style Palette
Click the Style Palette button in the Text window.
Categorizing Styles
Use the Add Category button to create categories to organize your styles. For
example, to use a group of styles in one project, create a category for that project. The
Style Palette must include at least one category for you to create new styles.
To create a new category, click the Add Category button. A dialog box allows you to name
the category. The new category name appears in the category menu.When you choose a
category from the menu, all the styles associated with that category appear in the right side
of the Style Palette. Any new styles you add are saved to the currently selected category.
Categories are not shared between tabs—each tab contains only the categories
created in that tab. For example, if you create a category in the Text tab, then select
the Color tab, the text category does not appear in the Color tab’s category menu.
Selecting the Thumbnail View
You can view styles in Frame or List View. In List View, you can arrange styles by name or
date using the Thumbnail View button and the Sort By menu. In Frame View, you can resize
the thumbnail images.
1. Press the Thumbnail View button in the Style palette and choose the
appropriate view from the menu:
• Small Frame View
• Medium Frame View
•
Large Frame View
• List View
2. If you choose List View, choose the appropriate sort criteria, Date or Name, from the
Sort By menu.
3. Click the Thumbnail Background button to toggle between a black background
and a checkerboard. The checkerboard is useful if your style is very dark. For
example, black text is easier to see over the checkerboard.
