Tip

You can create styles—combinations of formatting information—and

then apply the styles with a single click. (To show the stylesheet, click

on

the Default button bar, or choose Show Stylesheet from the Window menu.) For
example, if you create a style called Wide Border, you can apply it to objects
and frames any time you want. When you change a style, all the objects with
the same style also change. For information on creating and using styles, see
onscreen Help and “Using styles” on page 9-5.

Copying an object’s attributes

Use the eyedropper

to pick up (copy) an object’s attributes (color and

pattern, gradient, or texture, and pen width and arrowhead settings) and make
them the current settings, without having to select them from a palette. You
can also use the eyedropper to apply the current settings to another object.
