      I made a custom Stroke Style, but now I want to delete it. How do I do this? (It doesn’t show up in the Stroke Styles fly-out menu)

      I do not see any stroke style listed in that dialog box. (I think Stroke Styles are document-specific, so you won’t see them in a new document.)

      Okay, here is the follow-up dumb question. Why are Dashed/Wavy, Right Slant Hash separated from the others? (I thought because I had edited or created them, but maybe not.)

      The main reason I ask is because on several documents, Right Slant Hash has been applied to strokes as the default. I am not sure why that happens (maybe user error). It looks the same as a Solid stroke on my screen, so it’s an unpleasant surprise when printed.

      Great point, Colleen. I believe those kinds of strokes are different internally, in a way that we cannot see on the surface. For example, they’re not dashes, dots, or stripes. They’re more like those easter egg strokes — like woof, rainbow, or feet.

      Strokes can be assigned as the default whenever you choose one when no objects are selected on the page. I agree that this can be very annoying!
