The two pages are fairly intuitive. You may want to pay attention to the following

points when working with the Background page:

• In case you do not find the desired color in the list of predefined ones, you can

define your own by selecting Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Colors.

• You can use a graphic instead of a solid color as background. In the As drop-

down list, select Graphic, then select the graphic object you want to use and

adjust the parameters, as required. Detailed instructions on working with

graphic backgrounds can be found in the Impress Guide.

• The background is applied only to the paragraph area. If you have defined an

indented paragraph, the space between the paragraph and the margin does

not have the paragraph’s background color.

On the Borders page, the following points are worth considering:

• Watch out for the effects that the spacing between borders and paragraph area

produces on indentations and tabulations.

• If you want the border to be drawn around multiple paragraphs, leave the

Merge with next paragraph option at the bottom of the page marked.

Working with conditional paragraph styles

A conditional paragraph style is another way of formatting text differently in different

parts of a document. In some cases, you may find it saves time to use conditional

styles rather than switching between styles as you type.

Making a paragraph style conditional means it changes its formatting depending on

where it is used. For example, you may want the style MyTextBody to be black by

default but turn white when inside a frame with a blue background.

Probably the most common use for conditional formatting is with single-style

outlining. Single-style outlining is a type of outline numbering designed with a

Numbering style, rather than with Tools > Outline Numbering. Instead of using

different styles, it changes the number formatting whenever you press the Tab key to

create a subordinate heading.

The only trouble with single-style outlining is that all levels look the same. This is

where a conditional paragraph style comes in handy. Assign the paragraph style to an

outline numbering style in the Outline & Numbering page and then open the

Condition page. There, you can assign the levels of the outline numbering style to

other paragraph styles. Then, when you press the Tab key while using the paragraph

style, each level of the outline takes on different formatting, making single-style

outlining even more convenient than it is on its own.

Note

Predefined styles (other than Text body) such as Default, Heading 1,

and Heading 2 cannot be set to be conditional.

Caution

If you want to make a style conditional, you have to do it while the style

window is still open for the first time. After the window closes, the

Condition tab no longer appears in the window.
