11.2 Using Formatting and Styles in Calc 

Calc comes with a few built-in cell and page styles to improve the appearance of your spreadsheets and reports. Although these built-in styles are adequate for many uses, you will probably find it useful to create styles for your own frequently used formatting preferences.

Procedure 11.1: Creating a Style 

Click Format › Styles › Styles and Formatting or press F11.

At the top of the panel Styles and Formatting, click either Cell Styles (a green cell) or Page Styles (a document).

Right-click anywhere in the list of styles in the panel Styles and Formatting. Then click New.

Specify a name for the style and use the various tabs to set the desired formatting options.

When you are done configuring the style, click OK.

Procedure 11.2: Modifying a Style 

Click Format › Styles › Styles and Formatting.

At the top of the panel Styles and Formatting, click either Cell Styles (a green cell) or Page Styles (a document).

Right-click the name of the style you want to change, then click Modify.

Change the desired formatting options.

When you are done configuring the style, click OK.

To apply a style to specific cells, select the cells you want to format. Then double-click the style you want to apply in the Styles and Formatting window.
