To apply the built-in object styles: 1. | Select the object you want to style. | 2. | Choose Window > Object Styles to open the Object Styles palette .
The three built-in object style settings in the Object Styles palette. | 3. | Click one of the following in the Object Styles palette: [Basic Graphics Frame] applies the default object settings for graphic frames. (See the chart on the following pages for which settings are included.) [Basic Text Frame] applies the default settings for text frames. (See the chart on the following pages to see which settings are included.) [None] removes all formatting from the object.
