Using paragraph styles
Figure 13 All Heading styles now have the Corsiva type font.
Creating custom styles
You have seen that the Stylist provides several pre-defined styles, such as Heading 1 and
Text body. But what if you need something different, like a poem style, that is not in the
Stylist? With OpenOffice.org you can make your own styles to suit your needs.
In this section, we will create a Poem style, and a Poem Header style, with the following
properties:
• Poem: Centered, with font-size 10.
• PoemHeading: Centered, bold, with font-size 12.
In addition, a Poem Heading is to be followed by a Poem. In other words, when you press
Enter, the style changes to Poem.
Note: The keen reader may have noticed this behaviour already. After you type a heading and
press Enter, the style switches back to Text body.
Creating the Poem style
Our first example is the Poem style. We use the Default style as a starting point.
1) Click on the Stylist icon to bring up the Stylist (or press F11).
2) Right click on Default and choose New (see Figure 14).
