Do this by /Format /Styles and Formatting. Across the top of that window will be five icons which select (from left) different style families. Leftmost is Paragraph styles, next Character Styles, Frame Styles, Page Styles and List Styles. On the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window is a dropdown to restrict the display of Styles - Applied is often useful, but check that All is in use until you get used to this. Press the top icon for the desired Style family, right click on the style you wish to change, and choose Modify from the popup. Make whatever modifications you wish and press OK You may find http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Paragraph_Styles_And_Table_Of_Contents.html of use also the overall Writer guide is http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/manuals/userguide3/0200WG3-WriterGuide.pdf There has been little significant change in Writer between v3 (that manual) and v4 My own experience is that fluency in use of styles is not acquired until about the third reasonably substantial document (i.e., not simple short letters); after that, one wonders how one ever managed without use of styles. I write book-length texts using styles and it emerges in full book layout, needing only final proofing and very minor tweaking before going to print. Since switching to Star/OpenOffice in 2007 I have prepared many booklength texts directly in OO, without need to use my previous setup of MS Word (or NotePad) and PageMaker (later InDesign). I have never regretted the transition or the learning curve involved. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
