Question

Is there a way.....?

Hi there,

I know we can set default styles and addictional styles as needed in CP7, but I was wondering, is there a way retrospectively assign a style and implement it?

For example, a style for text captions might be in a black font, but you want to assign a blue font....and apply it to a previous module....hope that explains it correctly? basically changing the font colour to the whole module after it has been done in black?

Cheers

Rossco

    In the Object Style Manager dialog there is an option to select a particular style or group of styles and export those style settings. Then you can import this file into another Captivate project (usually best to only do so for the same versions).

    If the style name is already present in the target project then you are given the option to overwrite the existing style or create a new style.  This process doesn't always work as reliably as you might hope. So I suggest you try it out on a duplicate of your main project first.

    I must be understanding your question differently from Rod. If those

    captions are using a default style I would simply change the style for one

    caption in the Properties panel and choose the option to change the default

    style there. It will propagate to all captions.
