Modifying a style

Modifying a style is the next action that you will perform. In this exercise, you will modify the formatting of one of the Smart Shapes that has the DiDaXo-MainTitle style applied. You will then update your custom style to the new formatting and see how the other object reacts:

  1. Make sure that the title placeholder in the topmost area of slide 2 is selected.
  2. Look at the top of the Properties inspector. Confirm that the DiDaXo-MainTitle style is currently applied to the selected object.
  3. In the Style tab of the Properties inspector, change the font size to 48.

Because you have made a formatting change, the + sign appears in the Style Name drop-down menu. The style that's currently applied to the selected Text Caption is + DiDaXo-MainTitle.

  1. Open the Style Options icon and click the Save changes to Existing Style item.
  2. This action updates the DiDaXo-MainTitle style after the current look of the selected object. The + sign disappears from the Style Name drop-down list...
