Text Style management
Every text in a WiseImage document has a text style associated with it. A text style defines such text characteristics as: Font, Height, Width Factor, and Obliquity. To inherit any text property from the associated text style, this property value must be set to By Style.
Using text styles, text properties for a number of objects can be changed on the fly. Just modify any parameter of the required text style, and every WiseImage text in this document which inherits the value for this property from the modified text style will be changed immediately.
A text style for the following can be changed: Text, Multiline text, Dimension text, Block, by changing a value of the Text Style property in Inspector.
