Calc Guide

The Style dialog has several tabs. The Organizer tab, shown in Figure

86 for cell styles, is found in all components of OOo. It provides basic

information about the style. The Organizer tab for page styles is similar

to the one shown for cell styles.

Name

This is the style’s name. You cannot change the name of a built-in

style, but you can change the name of a custom style.

Linked with

This option is only available for cell styles; page styles cannot be

linked. If you link cell styles, then when you change the base style

(for example, by changing the font from Times to Helvetica), all the

linked styles will change as well. Sometimes this is exactly what you

want; other times you do not want the changes to apply to all the

linked styles. It pays to plan ahead.

For example, you can make a new style called red, in which the only

change you want to make is for the cell text to be red. In order to

make sure that the rest of the text characteristics are the same as

the default style, you can link red with default. Then, any changes

you make to default will be automatically applied to red.
