Calc Guide

Deleting styles

You cannot remove (delete) any of Calc’s predefined styles, even if you

are not using them.

You can remove any user-defined (custom) styles; but before you do,

you should make sure the styles are not in use. If an unwanted style is

in use, you will want to replace it with a substitute style.

Replacing styles (and then deleting the unwanted ones) can be very

useful if you are dealing with a spreadsheet that has been worked on

by several people.

To delete unwanted styles, right-click on them (one at a time) in the

Styles and Formatting window and click Delete on the pop-up menu.

Choose Yes in the confirmation pop-up.

Creating a spreadsheet from a template

To create a spreadsheet from a template:

1) From the main menu, choose File > New > Templates and

Documents. The Templates and Documents dialog opens. (See

Figure 91 for the Windows version of this dialog.)

2) In the box on the left, click the Templates icon if it is not already

selected. A list of template folders appears in the center box.

3) Double-click the folder that contains the template that you want

to use. A list of all the templates contained in that folder appears

in the center box.

4) Select the template that you want to use. You can preview the

selected template or view the template’s properties:

• To preview the template, click the Preview icon. A preview of

the template appears in the box on the right.

• To view the template’s properties, click the Document

Properties icon. The template’s properties appear in the box

on the right.

5) Click Open. The Templates and Documents dialog closes and a

new document based on the selected template opens in Calc. You

can then edit and save the new document just as you would any
