Reply To: Exporting Ojbect Styles

How about creating those styles in a document, fine-tuning until you are happy with them? You could even delete the objects themselves from the document, once you were happy with them, provided their styles were safely in the Object Styles panel. Then do a Save As to copy that document with a new title (something like “Object Styles.indd”) in a suitable place.

Then, whenever you wanted those styles in a document you were working on, use the Load Object Styles item in the pop-out menu of the Object Styles pallet to import them to your current document.

It’s not, strictly speaking, an export. But it does give you the equivalent of a library of object styles. You could even add new styles to it as your needs changed. Once you load all the object styles into your current document, delete the ones you don’t want.
