Property Groups There are three main groups of formatting properties that can be extracted from
a layout object and inserted into a theme. Mark one or more of the three check
boxes below for extraction from the source object to the theme:
Object Type Specific
Mark this check box to extract object type specific properties from the source
object for inclusion in the theme. Object type specific properties are such properties
that only exist in a given object type, e.g. charts. This type of properties
can only be copied to other objects of the same type as the source object type.
Caption & Border
Mark this check box to extract caption and border properties from the source
object for inclusion in the theme. This type of properties can be copied to
other object types than the source object type.
Printer Settings
Mark this check box to extract printer settings properties from the source
object for inclusion in the theme. This type of properties can be copied to
other object types than the source object type. For each of the selections above
you will be able to choose specific properties for inclusion in or exclusion
from the theme in the wizard steps that follow.
Click Next to continue.
Step 3 - Select Specific Properties
In step 3 more detailed selections of properties to be extracted from the source object and included in the
theme can be made. This wizard step will be repeated for each of the three main property groups selected in
step 2.
Each item in the list indicates a single property or a group of properties, which can be included in or
excluded from the theme. Mark the items to include.
When modifying an existing theme, those items marked when entering this step are those currently included
in the theme. By changing selections all previous settings in the theme will be overwritten.
When creating a new theme from scratch, those items marked when entering this step are those which are typically
suitable for inclusion in a general purpose theme.
Click Next to continue.
Step 4 - Insertion of Properties in Theme
In the fourth step in the wizard you decide which sections and sub-sections of the theme should be written
to the theme with the extracted object properties. There are three columns with check boxes, each check box
representing one sub-section of the theme. Based on your selections in step 2 and 3 of the wizard only some
of the check boxes will be available for selection, the remainder being grayed out.
Those check boxes surrounded by green frames indicate sub-sections which are currently defined in the
theme (only applicable when modifying an existing theme.
The columns with check boxes correspond to the three check boxes in step 2. It is only possible to make
selections in a column if the corresponding check box was selected in step 2, followed by appropriate selections
in step 3.
The object type specific sub-section can only be selected for the type of source object selected in step 2. Caption/border
settings and printer settings can be set across object types.
Click Next to continue.
Step 5 - Save Theme
There are two options available for a theme to be saved as defaults for new documents or objects.
