Redefine an object style
After you apply an object style, you can override any of its settings. If you decide you like the changes you made to a particular object, you can redefine the style so that it matches the formatting of the object you changed. Be aware that the Redefine Object Style command redefines only categories that are turned on or turned off, but not categories that are ignored. If the object includes additional settings, you’ll need to add those settings separately to the style, or simply create a new object style.
- Select an object that is using the style you want to change.
- Adjust the desired appearance attributes.
- In the Object Styles panel, choose Redefine Object Style from the Object Styles panel menu.
The object style definition changes to match the override settings you applied. All occurrences of the object style in the document are updated to use the new settings.
Note: If the Redefine
Object Style option is not available, the attributes you set are
not part of the object style definition. To change the style definition
directly, choose Object Style Options instead, or create a new style
from the object.
