Customizing available patterns

    You can customize the patterns that are available in the Accents window. Any changes you make also appear in the Pattern pop-up palette of the Tools window.

    Note: This section is about editing the pattern palette available in the Accents and Tools windows. It is not about changing the pattern of objects or images.

    When you customize a pattern in the Accents window, the change also affects any place in the document where you used the previous pattern.

    To customize a pattern:
    1 Choose Edit Patterns from the Options menu.
    2 In the Accents window, click the pattern you want to edit.
    3 In the Pattern Editor, click or drag in the left box to modify the pattern.
    Tip: To reverse the pattern colors (change black to white and vice versa), click Invert.

    Changes you make to patterns apply only to the Tools and Accents windows of the current document, but you can save the settings as a custom palette and use it in other AppleWorks documents.
