Importing Styles

You can manually create new style classes in a stylesheet. Another option is to import existing styles from another stylesheet.

How to Import a Style

1. Open the stylesheet you want to modify or create a new one.
2. In the local toolbar, click the Options button and select Import Styles.
3. Do one of the following, depending on the stylesheet containing the style you want to import.

   To Select a Stylesheet From One of the Available Folders

   1. In the Library Folders section, select one of the folders.
      • Factory Stylesheets Holds stylesheets that are provided by Contributor.

      • My Templates Holds your own stylesheets that you store in your Documents\My Templates\Stylesheets folder.

      • Project Stylesheets Holds stylesheets added to a project.
   2. In the Styles section to the right, select a stylesheet contained in the folder.

   To Select a Stylesheet Not Found in One of the Available Folders

   1. Click the Browse button.
   2. In the dialog, find and double-click the stylesheet.
4. (Optional) In the [Show Styles] drop-down list, you can make a selection to filter which types of styles to show in the area below.
5. (Optional) In the [Medium] drop-down list, you can select a specific medium. This determines the medium to which the styles are imported in your current stylesheet. If you select "default," the imported style properties will be applied to all of the mediums in the other stylesheet. If you select a custom medium, the imported style properties will be imported to that medium in the other stylesheet.
6. Click the Import check box next to each style that you want to import.
7. Click OK. The styles are added to the current stylesheet.
