Styles
Styles are very useful aides for advanced word processing users.
When you need a specific character or paragraph format frequently, it pays to
create a style for it. You can then apply the style to any segment of text you like,
and this text will be formatted as you have specified in the style definition.
And: Using styles not only saves you time when you have to apply the same
formatting repeatedly, but also ensures that your document will be formatted
consistently. The reason: if you change the definition of a style, the formats of all
text segments to which this style has been applied are changed accordingly!
In practical terms, styles work like this: You set up a paragraph style named “Headings”,
choosing for it a larger, bold type, a centered alignment, etc. Now, whenever
you want to make a paragraph into a heading, all you have to do is select this style
for it and it will be formatted accordingly.
You can define different styles for each document – they are saved in the document.
In this chapter, you will find detailed information on using styles. The following
topics are covered:
Character styles
In a character style, you can save a frequently needed character format (typeface,
size, emphasis, etc.) and apply it repeatedly to any characters you like.
Use the Format > Character Style command for this.
Paragraph styles
In a paragraph style, you can save a frequently needed paragraph format
(indentation, tab stops, alignment, etc.) and apply it repeatedly to any paragraph
you like.
Use the Format > Paragraph Style command for this.
Managing styles
