Picture Frame Styles

[PaoloT]

Hi,

Similarly to Text Styles, I would love if Publisher had Picture Frame Styles. Something similar to InDesign's Object Styles.

The current Styles are global ones, not tied to a document. They are sort of style presets, more than styles. Click on one, and the properties are applied to the selected object(s). Edit the style, and nothing changes in the objects you applied the style to.

I find being able to change the object properties when editing the Picture Frame Styles very important, because image styles are an essential part of a publication's style. For example, you might want a minimal, flat design in a project, and a design "popping-out" in a derived publication (for example, a book for kids derived from an age-neutral one).

No, that one was entered today (the original post says something different, concerning the Studio panels' behavior). Mine is much older!

Sorry, I meant the original post being the prior thread, because it seems like your post and the Nov 2022 OP (which I replied to today) are both saying "Object styles should work more like text styles"
