Deleting or renaming styles<br />

To delete a style in the current document, select it in the dialog and then click on<br />

the Delete button. To give a style a new name, click on Rename and type the new<br />

name.<br />

Note: The Delete button is not available for predefined styles.<br />

To delete or rename styles in a document template, open the document template,<br />

make the changes there and save the template.<br />

Resetting styles<br />

If you select a predefined style that has been modified, the Delete button in the<br />

dialog is replaced by a Reset button. Click this button when you want to reset the<br />

style to its default settings.<br />

The scope of character styles<br />

You changed a character style, but the formatting of some of the text segments to<br />

which this style had been applied didn’t change accordingly? This happens when<br />

those segments had been reformatted manually. An example:<br />

Let’s assume that you define a style with the Arial font and apply it. If you subsequently<br />

change the style’s font to Times New Roman, all the text segments that are<br />

formatted in this style are reformatted accordingly.<br />

But: If you had selected a completely different font for one of these text segments<br />

with Format > Character or the Formatting toolbar, any changes you make to the<br />

character style thereafter will no longer be applicable to this text segment. That is<br />

to say, manually applied character formats take precedence over styles.<br />

If you want to “free” such a text segment of its manual formatting, invoke Format<br />

> Standard. The formatting specified for the applied character style will then be<br />

restored to the segment.<br />

The character style Normal<br />

A character style named “Normal” is present by default in every document and has<br />

a special significance. It is the standard style for the text. When you start typing<br />

text in a new document, the text is automatically assigned the “Normal” style,<br />
