Modifying type styles
You can change the attributes of a type style and save the style with
the same name. When you change a styles attributes, all styles in the
family automatically inherit the new attributes and Canvas updates
any existing text that uses the family of styles.
To modify a type style
1
In the Type palette, choose the style you want to edit in the
pop-up menu at the bottom of the palette.
2
Use the Type palette to change the styles attributes. Canvas
displays +++ after the style name at the bottom of the palette to
indicate that changes were made to the style.
3
Click the Styles tab to bring it to the front, and click Create.
4
In the Create Type Styles dialog box, Canvas displays the cur-
rent style name in the Based On pop-up menu and Style Name box.
To replace the style, do not change these settings.
5
If you want, you can include ink settings. For paragraph styles,
you can also include font attributes.
6
Click Save. Canvas asks you to confirm that you want to
replace the existing style with the new style. Click OK.
Deleting type styles
To minimize confusion when choosing styles to apply, you can delete
type styles you dont use. Text using a deleted type style retains its
formatting, but no longer has a named style. In addition, any text
using a style based on a deleted style also loses its named style. See
the illustration below for other effects of deleting a type style that is
part of a style family.
