Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

For example, start with the Paragraph Style “default”. It uses the font “Times New

Roman” in “12” point to create a Style called “indented text” where the only addition

is a a left indent with no other changes. Later, the user decides to change the font in “text

body” and then the font is automatically changed in the “indented text” Style as well.

Sticking with this example, if one redefined the left indentation in the “default”, it would

have no effect on the paragraphs formatted with “indented text” because, in the

hierarchy, the more closely associated format always has priority.

Numbering Styles

Simple bulleting and numbering in a document can be easily set using the icons on the Writer

object bar. Likewise, the icons for bold, italic et cetera. can be used to assign direct

formatting that is not already part of the Style. The Styles and Formatting window, too, offers

various Numbering Styles that may be applied by double-clicking the name of the Style.

For more control of numbering in a document, use Format > Bullets and Numbering which

offers several other options that may be more suitable and which can be used to create

custom styles.

Creating New Character Styles or Paragraph Styles

Creating a new Style on the basis of an existing Style is a straight forward process. The

following is a step-by-step procedure with which to start:

a) First of all, apply new, direct formatting to any characters or any paragraph, which will

become the Style. To do this, either use the text object bar or open the Format menu and

choose Character or Paragraph.

b) Select the text or paragraph containing the new formatting. For words or paragraphs,

simply position the cursor in the respective word or paragraph.

c) At the top of the Styles and Formatting window, click the Paragraph Styles icon to create

a new Paragraph Style. Likewise, click the Character Styles icon to create a new

Character Style.

d) At the top of the Styles and Formatting window, click New Style from Selection. This

opens the Create Style dialogue.

e) Enter a name for the new Style and click OK.

As can be seen in the Styles and Formatting window, a new Style has been created in the

“Custom St yles” group making it available for use for indirect formatting in documents.

A user may also create a new Style without using an existing Style as the starting point. Here

is a method by which to create a new paragraph style.

a) In the Styles and Formatting window, choose Paragraph Style by clicking its icon. (the

one farthest to the left in the Styles and Formatting windows toolbar.)

b) Call the context menu of the Styles and Formatting window (click right mouse button).

c) Choose New...

d) Enter the data for the desired Style
