Figure 8: Properties panel of Sidebar in Writer
All components contain the Properties, Styles and Formatting, Gallery, and Navigator decks. Some
components have additional decks, such as Master Pages, Custom Animation, and Slide Transition
for Impress; Manage Changes for Writer; and Functions for Calc.
A panel is like a combination of a toolbar and a dialog. For example, you can freely mix working in
the main edit window to enter text and use the Properties panel in the sidebar to change text
attributes.
