ORKING WITH TYLES
PowerScript Styles provide a quick, easy, accurate way to apply pre-defined attributes to
objects. Many computer applications (such as word processing and desktop publishing
software) use the concept of styles—if you're familiar with any of the applications, Pow-
erScript styles will be like an old friend.
Styles are extremely useful, for example, when you want a font, size, and color to always
appear the same on all pages. You can create a style that uses the required attributes then
apply it to the characters on the page with a single key stoke.
To apply a style to a selected object or objects, press one of the keyboard function keys
Shift F1
(F1 through F12), or hold down the Shift key in combination with a function key. For
example, pressing F1 might apply your standard company font style to a text object;
pressing Shift+F1 might apply a color to your official company logo.
PowerScript provides a default set of 24 styles. You can use the styles as is, or redefine
them to your specific needs. The following table shows the default PowerScript styles and
provides space where you can record whatever style changes you make to the defaults.
