Figure 205: Copying a style from one document to another
Caution
If you do not hold down the Control key when dragging, the style will
be moved from one list to the other. The style will be deleted from the
list you are dragging it from.
Deleting styles
It is not possible to delete OOo’s predefined styles from a document or template, even
if they are not in use. However, custom styles can be deleted.
To delete an unwanted style, right-click on it in the Styles and Formatting window
and choose Delete. If the style is in use, the message shown in Figure 206 appears.
Figure 206: Deleting an applied style
Caution
Make sure the style is not in use before deletion. Otherwise, all objects
with that style will return to the Default style and retain their
formatting as manual formatting. This can be very problematic in a
long document.
Tip
If an unwanted style is in use, use Find & Replace to replace it with a
substitute style before deleting it.
If the style is not in use, the message shown in Figure 207 appears.
