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.
To copy an object’s attributes, select the eyedropper and click the object
whose attributes you want to copy. The fill and pen samples change to reflect
the new settings.
To apply the new settings to another object, select the eyedropper, position
it over the object, and hold down
2 as you click.
