Style and Formatting Toolbar
The Styles dropdowns set the style for all objects in their group. When you select an object to input, a style and formatting toolbar is then displayed.
Options will be different depending on what tool you have selected. You may set the properties first then input the object or select an object that's already been input and then change the style properties.
Using the Select Tool on an existing object then right-clicking will bring up a Properties Dialog box where you can edit the same properties as the Styling Toolbar.
