Named styles

Named styles

Named styles are sets of style attributes that you can save and apply to any part of your outline. If the named style changes, any text with the named style applied will change as well.

The named styles associated with a document are for that document only, and will stay with it when you move the file or send it to someone else. You can drag named styles between the styles palettes of different documents, or create document templates that contain named styles you use often.

The named styles for a document are listed in the bottom half of the styles palette, which is in the utility drawer.

OmniOutliner Standard can view and edit named styles, but only OmniOutliner Pro can create new ones.

To create a new named style:

Click the plus button below the styles palette.
Use the Appearance and Row inspectors to set the style how you like.

To apply a named style to some text:

Select the text you would like to style.
Drag the style chit from the styles palette and drop it on the selection, or press the function key listed next to the named style, or select the named style from the Styles pop-up menu in the ruler.

To edit a named style:

Select the named style in the styles palette.
Use the Appearance and Row inspectors to set the style how you like.

To delete a named style:

Select the named style in the styles palette.
Click the minus button below the styles palette.
