This dialog shows I am creating a NewStyle2, that is a Paragraph Style and based on no other style. The
lower section lists all the attributes that make up this Style, so you can see I've used Palatino font, 12px in
size and it has a margin indent. The remaining attributes listed here have also been taken from selected
text, so this Style consists of a complete definition, listing all possible text attributes.
In this case when entering text in this Style, the 'Next paragraph' (i.e. when Return is pressed) will be in
the same style again.
Deleting Styles - Styles that are not used anywhere in a document are automatically deleted when you
save and re-load a document. However the default styles (Normal text and Heading 1 to 3) are never
deleted.
Removing Styles
The Styles list in the Styles menu includes the entry No style
. Selecting this removes the Style (paragraph and/or character Style) from the selection and also resets
the selected text back to default formatting.
Style Properties
If you want to change the definition of a style, such as the style it's based on, or just look at its definition,
use the Properties…
option in the style menu. You need to select some text that has the style applied before you do this, to
indicate the style you want to edit.
The Style Properties dialog appears, which looks the same as the Create Style
dialog shown above.
The style description at the bottom of the dialog describes how the style differs from the style on which it
is based. So if you want to see all of the style's attributes, just temporarily select No style from the
Based on list, to see a full description. Don't forget to reset this to the correct Based on
style, or click cancel in this dialog, if you don't want to change the style!
