To display the styles panel, choose Window –› Panels –› Style from the menu bar.  To create a new style, click on the arrow in the upper right hand corner of the style window and click New. 

There will now be a new style in the style window.  To edit a style, right click on the style name, and choose Edit… 

Make any necessary changes and click OK.  The style is now available for you to use anywhere in your project.

To apply a style to an object, click on the object and choose the style you wish to apply from the style window. 

**Keep in mind that after you create an object using a style, any changes you make to that style will also be made to the objects you created.
