Assigning styles to shortcut keys
You can configure shortcut keys to quickly assign styles in your document. Some
shortcuts are predefined, such as Ctrl+1 for the Heading 1 paragraph style and
Ctrl+2 for Heading 2. You can modify these shortcuts and create your own. See
Chapter 17 (Customizing Writer) for details.
Defining a hierarchy of headings
Tools > Outline Numbering defines the hierarchy of headings in a document.
Headings can be numbered or not; typically the first-level headings in a book-length
document are the next level of headings after the chapter titles, which may be
numbered, but lower-level headings are not numbered. Some chapter title and
heading styles (such as those commonly used in engineering documents) number
each chapter and heading level, for example 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1, and so on. When
chapters or sections are added or deleted, the numbering is automatically changed.
Paragraph styles are the key to OOo’s outline numbering feature. The default
paragraph styles assigned to outline levels are the heading styles supplied with OOo:
Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on. However, you can substitute any styles you wish,
including custom (user-defined) styles.
The headings defined using the outline numbering feature can be used for more than
the table of contents (described in Chapter 12). For example, fields are commonly
used to display headings in headers and footers of pages (see Chapter 14, Working
with Fields), and Writer can send the outline to Impress to use as the basis for a
presentation (see the Impress Guide for details).
Choosing paragraph styles for outline levels
If you are using the default heading styles for the headings in your outline, and you
do not want to use heading numbering, you do not need to do anything on the Outline
Numbering dialog box. The default outline numbering scheme uses the default
heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on).
To use custom styles in place of one or more of the default heading styles:
1) Choose Tools > Outline Numbering to open the Outline Numbering dialog
box (Figure 208).
2) Click the number in the Level box corresponding to the heading for which you
want to change the paragraph style.
