Creating Custom Styles and Formatting in OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice

“If you are a user of OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice you might be
familiar with styles and formatting. These are pre-defined text
formats that you can select from in order to change various aspects
of your text. With both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice you have the
ability to create custom styles and formats that can be used, and
re-used, easily. And best of all, this is all done without a single
bit of scripting or coding. Thanks to the Styles and Formatting
tool, you can become a LibreOffice power-user in no time.

“The Tool vs The Drop-down

“Most users select their document styles from the style
drop-down (see Figure 1). From this drop-down you can select some
of the more popular styles available. By selecting the text you
want the style to apply to and then selecting the style from the
drop-down, your text will automatically reformat according to your
selection.”
