Adding styles to a theme

By adding a style to a theme, you make that style available to all documents to which you apply the theme in the future.

To add a style to a theme
  1. On the Tool menu, click Resource Manager in the Tool Window, and then click the Theme tab.
  2. Select the theme you want to edit and then click the Theme Properties button (at the bottom of the window).
  3. Click the Add button under the style list.
  4. Do one of the following, depending on the type of style you want to create. (See “Defining a style” for explanations of the various style types.)
    • To create an element style, click the Tag box and select the desired element type. Do not enter anything in the Name box.
    • To create a universal class style, enter the desired class name in the Name box. Leave the Tag box set to (none).
    • To create an element-specific class style, click the Tag box and select the desired element type, and then enter the desired class name in the Name box.
  5. Click OK.
  6. In each of the Character, Paragraph, and Borders & Background tabs, specify the desired properties for the style.
  7. When finished, click OK, or click Apply if you plan to add another style right away.
