Subtitles of the Movie (Apple iWork 08 / Cool Pages Tips / Save a Bullet Style)
The last Pages trick that I want to leave you off with is related to the thing that we dealt with in the previous module, which was creating an automatic bulleted list and then remember we can select a list and then we can go to the inspector and modify that list all we want to here as far as alignment size, scaling with text and so on. So we can do a lot of work here and the configuration of a bulleted list. So let's say I'm a big Dallas Cowboy fan or something like that and I want to make lists that have blue starts on them rather then one, two, three or hyphens or traditional bullets and I want to be able to use this over and over again. So let's say if I create my next list, list one, list two, list three, you get the idea here and let's say I want to add that, how do I do that? Well again I go to the inspector and make it a bulleted list, I can use my format bar if I want to and I can use text bullets, image bullets, custom image, you've seen all that earlier but what if I like this? Here's what you do, select it, open up your styles drawer, I'll make the inspector go away just to give us a little less to look at here and this little arrow here gives us an indication that this is our currently used bullet. In fact there has been a modification to it, that's what the red arrow means and we can create a new list style from the selection. So there we go, bullet two or Dallas bullet, something like that and we'll apply the new style on creation. So as I create it, it will be applied, doesn't matter it's already applied and I can click on OK and there we go. Now I can select that list, come over to my styles drawer here and then with a single click I can apply this over and over again. I can even hold down multiple lists with the command click and then apply the Dallas bullet to all of those items there. I'll undo it and you see the results. So that's how you can save yourself a lot of time and trouble if you have created a bullet list that you really like, go ahead and save it and then it'll be in your styles drawer until you decide to remove it, later on. Now remember, if you ever want to manage that by the way, don't click on that one, but you can go right here and you can delete the style if you want to or assign a hotkey to it, all those things that we looked at previously in the tutorial about your styles and your bullets, certainly apply here as well.
