To use the Apply Style drop-down menu (Figure 185):

1) Move the cursor to a new line or create a new line by pressing the Enter key at

the end of the previous line and type some text.

2) Keeping the cursor on the same paragraph, select Heading 1 in the Apply

Styles list.

The text acquires the properties of the Heading 1 style. If the paragraph style you

want is not in the Apply Style list, select More to bring up the Styles and Formatting

window. If the Styles and Formatting window is still open, you may notice that the

Heading 1 style is also highlighted in the main window, as shown in Figure 187.

Finally, try the Format Paintbrush:

1) Move the cursor to a new line or create a new line by pressing the Enter key at

the end of the previous line and type some text.

2) Move the cursor to one of the two paragraphs with style Heading 1 and select

the Format Paintbrush icon to activate it (the cursor changes shape).

3) Move the cursor on the paragraph you have created and click the left mouse

button.

The cursor shape changes back to the normal one, and the text acquires the

properties of the Heading 1 style.

If the Styles and Formatting window is open, you may notice that the Heading 1 style

is also highlighted in the main window.

Applying character styles

Open the Styles and Formatting window (press F11) and click the second button in

the top bar. The list of available character styles is displayed. To apply a character

style, follow these steps:

1) Select the block of text where you wish to apply the style.

2) Double-click the appropriate character style in the Styles and Formatting

window.

Some examples include:

This example uses the OOo-supplied Strong Emphasis

character style.

Definition: A statement describing the meaning of a word or

phrase.

Note

One difference between character styles and paragraph styles is the

need for selecting text (highlighting). Character styles require you to

select the text you want to apply them to; paragraph styles do not.

Unset/undo character styles

Sometimes, you will want to remove the formatting from a block of text. You must

resist the temptation to do this manually. This will only cause trouble down the road.

There are three easy ways to remove character formatting:

• Right-click and choose Default Formatting.

• Choose Format > Default Formatting from the menu bar.
