Creating a custom quick style

When you set the properties for surround items, you build a Current Working Style. You can save the settings for a surround element as a Quick Style.

When you select a Quick Style, the settings are copied to the Current Working Style, and are applied to the surround item. If you change the properties, the changes are applied to the Current Working Style, not to the Quick Style.

  1. On the Maps tab, right-click a surround element, and then click Properties.
  2. In the surround element properties window, click the Quick Style tab.

    For example, with a Title surround, the Title Properties window appears.

  3. Click the Quick Style tab, and then click Add QS.

    To rename the new Quick Style, double-click it, type a name, and then press Enter.
