Modifying type styles You can change the attributes of a type style and save the style with the same name. When you change a style’s 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 style’s 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 don’t 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.
