Creating a Style
OpenOffice.org comes with a collection of styles to suit many users' needs. However,
most users eventually need a style that does not yet exist. To create a new style:
1 Right-click in any empty space in the Styles and Formatting window.
Make sure you are in the list of styles for the type of style you want to create.
For example, if you are creating a character style, make sure you are in the
character style list.
2 Click New.
3 Click OK.
4 Name your style and choose the settings you want applied with that style.
For details about the style options available in any tab, click that tab and then
click Help.
3.2.4 Using Templates to Format Documents
Most word processor users create more than one kind of document. For example, you
might write letters, memos, and reports, all of which look different and require different
styles. If you create a template for each of your document types, the styles you need
for each document are always readily available.
Creating a template requires a little bit of up-front planning. You need to determine
what you want the document to look like so you can create the styles you need in that
template. You can always change your template, but a little planning can save you a
lot of time later.
NOTE
You can convert Microsoft Word templates like you would any other Word
document. See
Section "Converting Documents to the OpenOffice.org Format"
(page 72) for information.
