The style will “forget” its previous settings and adopt the formatting options of the<br />

specified text. (Of course you can still change the style’s formatting options whenever<br />

you like, independently from the text.)<br />

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 paragraph styles<br />

You changed a paragraph style, but the formatting of some of the paragraphs to<br />

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

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

Let’s assume that you define a style specifying the paragraph alignment to be<br />

centered. If you subsequently change the style’s alignment to flush right, all the<br />

paragraphs to which this style is applied are reformatted accordingly.<br />

But: If you had selected a different alignment for one of these paragraphs with<br />

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

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

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

If you want to “free” such a paragraph of its manual formatting, simply select it<br />

and reapply the original paragraph style using Format > Paragraph Style. The<br />

format of the paragraph will revert to that specified in the style, and subsequent<br />

changes to the style will be effective on the paragraph.<br />
