The purpose of this article is to provide an example on how to modify the appearance of popups.

Once you have successfully created popups, you are now ready to modify the appearance of your popups. For more information on creating popups, please see our “Creating Popups” knowledge base article.

As discussed in the “Creating Popups” knowledge base article, there are two methods you can use to create popups: using markers and using paragraph styles. This article will provide an example on how to modify the appearance of popups for either method. If you used markers to create your popups, please see “Modifying popups created with markers”. If you used paragraph style to create your popups, please see “Modifying popups created with paragraph styles”.

1)	Go to View > Style Designer.

2)	Click on the Page Styles tab.

3)	Click on the Add New Style button to create a new page style for your popups.

4)	Give the new page style a name.

This step is very important. The name you specify here should be the same as the name you specified for the popup marker in your source document. So for example, from the "Creating Popups" knowledge base article, you may have named this page style Popup_Page_Style.
