By changing styles, you can change formatting throughout a document, rather than applying the change separately everywhere you want to apply the new formatting.
To change an existing style, proceed as follows:
In the panel Styles and Formatting, right-click the style you want to change.
Click Modify.
Change the settings for the selected style.
For information about the available settings, refer to the LibreOffice online help.
Click OK or Apply.
10.2.4 Creating a Style
LibreOffice comes with a collection of styles to suit many needs of most users. However, if you need a style that does not yet exist and want to create your own style, follow the procedure below:
Procedure 10.1: Creating a New Style
Open the panel Styles and Formatting with Styles › Styles and Formatting, or pressing F11.
Make sure you are in the list of styles for the type of style you want to create.
For example, if you are creating a character style, make sure you are in the character style list by clicking the corresponding icon in the panel Styles and Formatting.
Right-click anywhere in the list of styles in the panel Styles and Formatting.
To open the style dialog, click New. The Organizer tab is preselected.
Configure three basic properties of the new style:
Name
The name of your style. Choose any name you like.
Next Style
The style that follows your style. The style selected here is used when starting a new paragraph by pressing Enter. This is useful, for example, for headlines, after which you usually want to start a normal paragraph of text.
Inherit From
A style that your style depends on. If the selected style is changed, your style changes as well. For example, to make headers consistent, create a “parent” header style and have subsequent headers depend on it. This is useful when you only want to change the properties that need to be different.
For details about the style options available in any tab, click the Help button of the dialog.
Confirm with OK. This closes the window.
