Writer Guide

Indent Heading 3
On the Styles and Formatting window, right-click on the Heading 3
paragraph style and choose Modify (as before). After the Paragraph
Style dialog box opens, follow the steps below:
1) Click the Indents & Spacing tab.
2) Under the Indent section, set the indentation before the text to
0.60", as shown in Figure 188. Your display might be different,
depending upon what measurement unit was set in the options
(Tools > OOo Writer > General > Settings).

The result should resemble Figure 189.

Using AutoUpdate
On the Organizer page of the Paragraph Style dialog box is a check box
named AutoUpdate (Figure 190). It is present only for paragraph and
frame styles. If this check box is selected, then OOo will apply to the
style itself any modification made manually to a paragraph formatted
with that style.
Caution
If you are in the habit of manually overriding styles in your
document, be sure that AutoUpdate is not enabled, or you
will suddenly find whole sections of your document
reformatting unexpectedly.
