Using keyboard shortcuts
Some keyboard shortcuts for applying styles are predefined. For example, in Writer
Control+0 applies the Text body style, Control+1 applies the Heading 1 style, and
Control+2 applies the Heading 2 style. You can modify these shortcuts and create
your own; see Chapter 14 (Customizing OpenOffice.org) for instructions.
Modifying styles
OpenOffice.org provides several ways to modify styles (both the predefined styles and
custom styles that you create):
• Changing a style using the Style dialog
• Updating a style from a selection
• Use AutoUpdate (paragraph and frame styles only)
• Load or copy styles from another document or template
Tip
Any changes you make to a style are effective only in the current
document. To change styles in more than one document, you need to
change the template or copy the styles into the other documents as
described on page 62.
