3 Simple Style Sheet definition
1 To edit or define new Style Sheets, select the command
Style Sheets in the Edit menu. In the Style
Sheets dialog, all Style Sheets previously defined in
the document are listed for selection. In front of the
Style Sheet name is a symbol indicating the type of
Style Sheet. VivaDesigner provides Style Sheets for
text, images and objects.
To create a new Style Sheet, click the New.
2 A dialog opens in which you must enter a name for
the new Style Sheet.
With the popup menu Type you define whether the
Style Sheet relates to text objects, picture objects
or or graphic objects. For this exercise, please select
Text.
Confirm with Ö.
The new Style Sheet will appear in the left hand field,
and you can now make your entries.
3 Under Info and for Template, select None.
For Key you can select shortcut key(s) for the new
Style Sheet. The Function keys ∞ - », the numeric
key on the numeric block and corresponding combinations
with the o-, s- and œ keys are possible,
depending on your system.

4 The additional tabs are menus with whose help all
attributes that the program allows for different areas
may be made.
If you click the individual tabs, dialogs open to allow
you to make your definitions.
Most of the dialogs correspond to those that you can
also open with the menu. Therefore we will not
describe them more closely here.
By contrast to the well-known dialogs, the entry fields
can remain empty. This has the effect that attributes
that have been directly assigned in the user area are
not overwritten.
If you want for example to define a Style Sheet that
just sets the text color while the font and font size
remain unchanged, you must leave the popup menu
Font empty and if necessary delete any entries in Size.
When you have made all your settings, close all the
dialogs with a click on Ö.
Now your new Style Sheet is available for selection in
the Style Sheets Palette.
