Applying graphic stylesYou can apply graphic styles to objects, groups, and layers. (You can't apply graphic styles to type objects that use outline-protected fonts or bitmap fonts.) When you apply a graphic style, the new graphic style overrides any graphic style that was previously applied to the item. When you apply a graphic style to a group or layer, every object in the group or layer takes on the attributes of the graphic style. For example, assume you have a graphic style that consists of 50% opacity. If you apply the graphic style to a layer, all objects in or added to that layer will appear 50% opaque. However, if you move an object out of the layer, the object's appearance reverts to its previous opacity. (See Targeting layers, groups, and containers.)
Note: To preserve the current color of the characters in a type object when applying a style, deselect Override Character Color in the Graphic Styles palette menu. To apply a graphic style from the Graphic Styles palette to an object:
