    As an example, we will load a style sheet from the 'My Style' folder within the 'My Documents' folder, but you should substitute this with your own style sheet's location.
  6. Click on the 'My Documents' button on the left, or press 'Tab' until the left sidebar area is highlighted and then select the 'My Documents' icon with the arrow keys and press 'Enter'.
  7. Scroll along in the list of files and folders and double click the 'My Style' folder to open it, or press 'Tab' to enter the file and folder list area, and use the arrow keys to select the 'My Styles' folder and press 'Enter' to open it.
  8. Double click on the style sheet you wish to open, or press 'Tab' until it is highlighted and press 'Enter' to select it and return to the 'Preferences' window.
  9. Click 'OK', or press 'Tab' until the 'OK' button is highlighted and press 'Enter' to return to Opera.

Note: If this does not work it could be because your computer settings cannot be changed due to local IT policies - contact your local IT support for further help.
