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.
