Working smart with object styles…
Object Styles allow you to capture object specific attributes such as fill, stroke, corner options, paragraph styles (my fave), text frame options, baseline options, story options, text wrap, anchored objects and frame fitting options. You can also capture transparency attributes and effects.
In previous posts this month we have looked at how to create styles, style overrides, redefining and breaking the link to the style, so I’m not going to go over that here with Object Styles. The methods are the same, just remember when working with an Object Style you need to be working from the “Object Styles” panel.

One Response to “Object Styles”
quick question… Is there a way to make a file with a bunch of different object styles and then save the object styles out for another document?
I’m reformatting several large document and want to create all new set of styles that I can apply to the old documents, but don’t want to recreate the styles for each document
