Using Layers, Symbols, and Styles 307
To copy style information to another document:
1
Select an object or text that uses the desired style.
2
Select Edit > Cut or Copy.
3
Open the destination document and select Edit > Paste.
The object appears in the document, and its style appears in the Styles panel. When a style in
the destination document has the same name as the style you copy, the style in the destination
document is unchanged. So that the pasted object will appear just as it did in the original
document, it has a style override. For information on overriding a style, see “Modifying styles”
on page 305.
