When creating a new style, the first page you need to set up is the

Depending on the style you are creating, you will find the following
information on this page:
• Name: present on all the categories—use this field to give a name
to the style you are creating.
• AutoUpdate: this option is only present for paragraph and frame
styles. If it is checked, then OOo will apply any modification made
manually to a paragraph formatted with that style to the style
itself.
