The Set Survey Layout dialog opens .

2. Click in the Use Survey Layout box to select it.

The Survey Layout to use field becomes active.

3. Click the down-arrow beside the Survey Layout to use field to open a list of the Survey Layouts to which you have access, and select the layout you wish to use.

This list will include all the standard public layouts and any that your company has created and made available to you.

4. Save the changes.

Note: If you select a Survey Layout, apply a style from the Survey Layout to a text element, then later select a different Survey Layout, if the new Survey Layout includes a style of the same name as that in the original layout, then the text element will be updated to conform with the properties of the new style. If the new layout does not include a style of the same name, then the text element will revert to its default settings.
