            A digital document is a document maintained on a digital platform. The application software used to create digital
            document is called word processing software. This software helps in the process of creating, editing, formatting,
            sharing and printing documents. There are lots of important features that help in the designing and formatting of the
            digital document so that it caters to the needs of the person using it. Some of the word processing application available
            these days are:

            OpenOffice Writer is a free and open source application software. In this unit we will study some of the advanced
            features of OpenOffice Writer which is a part of the OpenOffice suite.


                    STYLES


            A style is a group of formats saved by a specific name and then applied to different sections of the documents containing
            text, tables, lists, etc. It saves your time of selecting different sets of formats when working on a long document.

            Let us assume that the science teacher has given you a project called “Say No To Single Use Plastic” to be made
            in OpenOffice Writer. You need to use Font-Algerian, Font Size-20, Colour-Dark Blue, Underline, Bold for the Main
            Title. Then for the normal content you want to keep Font-Arial, Size-14, Colour-Black. For the subheadings you want
            to keep Font-” Times New Roman”, Size=16, Colour-Grey. With so many variations, such formatting in a project is
            time-consuming and requires a lot of patience.

            Styles help you save your set of formats with a specific name. Whenever a set of formats is needed in a document,
            using a specific style name helps you accomplish the same set of tasks.

            OpenOffice Writer supports different types of styles as given below:
            •  Page  styles: They are used  for formatting  the pages. It includes  margins, headers and  footers, borders and
              backgrounds.
