Object Styles panel overview

Use the Object Styles panel to create, edit, and apply object styles. For each new document, the panel initially lists a default set of object styles. Object styles are saved with a document and display in the panel each time you open that document. The Text Frame icon  marks the default style for text frames; the Graphics Frame icon  marks the default style for graphics frames and drawn shapes.

Open the Object Style panel

 Choose Window > Object Styles.

Change how object styles are listed in the panel

  • Select Small Panel Rows from the panel menu to display a more condensed version of the object styles.
  • Drag the object style to a different position. When a black line appears in the desired position, release the mouse button.
  • Select Sort By Name from the panel menu to list the object styles in alphabetical order.
