To override a style attribute

You can edit a style or style set either by changing its attributes in the Object Styles inspector, or by changing the attributes of an object linked to the style or style set, and then applying these changes to the style or style set.

You can also edit a style or style set by copying attributes from an object to the style or style set.

You can override style attributes. When you override an attribute, it is no longer related to the style definition, and changes to the style do not affect the object until you remove the override.
