To change a symbol's style on a map:

  1. Select the symbol on the map. On the SPATIAL tab, in the Selection group, click Select, and Select.
  2. On the SPATIAL tab, in the Create group, on the Style list, click Symbol Style from the list.
  3. In the Symbol Style dialog box change the symbol, font, color, and size, as well as create background effects and bold face for symbols.

    When Custom Symbols are selected, the following additional options are available:

    Select the Display at Actual Size check box to see the symbol you selected at the size it was originally created.

    Click the Reload button to refresh the list of custom symbols stored in the Application Data CUSTSYMB directory. Select this button if you added a new custom symbol and do not see the symbol(s) in the list.

    Click the Full View button to display the entire view of custom symbols in a separate window. This button displays only when you select the Custom Symbols font type. You use this button when the preview is too large to display completely in the sample area.

    Note: The options in the Symbol Style dialog box may be different depending upon the size and complexity of the image.
  4. Make the desired changes, and click OK.

The symbol displays with the style changes you specified. These settings also apply to any subsequent symbols you draw until you change the settings.
