| − | = Applying styles =
| |
| − | In order to use a style in OpenOffice.org , you need to ''apply'' it. OOo provides several ways to apply styles:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[#Using the Styles and Formatting window|Using the Styles and Formatting window]].
| |
| − | * [[#Using Fill Format mode|Using Fill Format mode]].
| |
| − | * [[#Using the Apply Style list|Using the Apply Style list]].
| |
| − | * [[#Assigning styles to shortcut keys|Assigning styles to shortcut keys]].
| |
| − | * Using AutoFormat: see [[Writer Guide: Working with Text|Chapter 3]] (Working with Text).
| |
| − | * [[#Using conditional styles|Using conditional styles]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Using the Styles and Formatting window ==
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>To open the Styles and Formatting window, do ''any one'' of the following:</li>
| |
| − | * Click on the [[Image:StylesFormattingIcon.png]] icon located at the left-hand end of the object bar.
| |
| − | * Choose '''Format > Styles and Formatting'''.
| |
| − | * Press ''F11''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' You can move the Styles and Formatting window to a convenient position on the screen or dock it to an edge.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:StylesFormatWindow2.png|Styles and Formatting window]]<br>Styles and Formatting window for Writer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Click on one of the icons at the top left of the Styles and Formatting window to display a list of styles in a particular category, such as paragraph or character.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>To apply a character style to existing text, select the text and then double-click on the name of the style in the ''Character Styles'' list. To apply any other style, put the cursor in the paragraph, frame, or page you want to modify and double-click on the name of the style. You can select more than one paragraph or frame and apply the same style to all of them at the same time.</li>
| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' At the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window is a drop-down list. In Figure 1 it shows '''Automatic''', meaning the list shows only the styles that are applied automatically by OOo. You can choose to show all styles or other groups, such as custom styles.

| |
| − | == Using the Apply Style list ==
| |
| − | When a style is in use in a document, the style name appears on the ''Apply Style'' list at the left end of the formatting bar, to the right of the ''Styles and Formatting'' icon.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:ApplyStyleList.png|Apply Style list]]<br>The Apply Style list.
| |

| |
| − | To apply a style from this list, click on the desired style or use the up or down arrow keys to move through the list, then press'' Enter'' to apply the highlighted style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' Select '''More...''' at the bottom of the list to open the Styles and Formatting window.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Assigning styles to shortcut keys ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | OOo provides a set of predefined keyboard shortcuts that allow you to quickly apply styles. You can modify these shortcuts and create your own.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' Some shortcuts are predefined, such as ''Ctrl+1'' for the ''Heading 1'' paragraph style and ''Ctrl+2'' for ''Heading 2''.
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>Click '''Tools > Customize > Keyboard'''.</li>
| |
| − | <li>On the ''Keyboard'' page of the Customize dialog box, choose the shortcut keys you want to assign a style to. In this example, we have chosen ''Ctrl+9''.</li>
| |
| − | [[Image:StylesKeybdSC.png|Defining keyboard shortcuts]]<br>Defining keyboard shortcuts for applying styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>In the ''Functions'' section at the bottom of the dialog box, scroll down in the ''Category'' list to '''Styles'''. Click the '''+''' sign to expand the list of styles.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Choose the category of the style. The ''Function'' list will display the names of the available styles for the selected category. The example in Figure 3 shows some of OOo's predefined paragraph styles.</li>
| |
| − | <li>To assign '''Ctrl+9''' to the ''Text Body'' paragraph style, select '''Text Body''' in the ''Function'' list, and then click '''Modify'''. '''Ctrl+9''' now appears in the ''Keys'' list.</li>
| |
| − | <li>When you are done assigning shortcuts, click '''OK''' to close the dialog box.</li>
| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − | Currently, the only way to use ''Alt'' key or multi-key combinations is through a macro. See [http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/AltKeyHandler.sxw AltKeyHandler.sxw] and [http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/KeyHandler.sxw KeyHandler.sxw], available from [http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/].

| |
| − | = Modifying styles =
| |
| − | OpenOffice.org provides several ways to modify styles:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[#Changing a style using the Style dialog box|Change a style using the Style dialog box]]
| |
| − | * [[#Updating a style from a selection|Update a style from a selection]]
| |
| − | * [[#Using AutoUpdate (paragraph and frame styles only)|Use AutoUpdate (paragraph and frame styles only)]]
| |
| − | * [[#Loading or copying styles from another document or template|Load or copy styles from another document or template]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can change both predefined and custom (user-created) styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' Any changes made to a style are effective only in the current document. To change styles in more than one document, change the template—see Chapter 10 (Working with Templates)—or copy the styles into the other documents as described in [[#Copying and moving styles|Copying and moving styles]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Changing a style using the Style dialog box ==
| |
| − | To change an existing style using the Style dialog box, right-click on the style in the Styles and Formatting window and select '''Modify''' from the pop-up menu.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The dialog box displayed depends on the type of style selected. Below is an example of the dialog box for a paragraph style. Each style's dialog box has several tabs. Some properties on these dialog boxes are described later in this chapter.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-4.png|Paragraph Style dialog box]]<br>Example of Paragraph Style dialog box.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Updating a style from a selection ==
| |
| − | Let's use paragraph styles as an example.
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>Open the Styles and Formatting window.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Create a new paragraph (or modify an existing paragraph) and edit all the properties you want to go into the style (such as indentation, font properties, alignment, among others).</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Caution:''' Make sure that there are unique properties in this paragraph. For example, if there are two different font sizes or font styles, that particular property will remain the same as before.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Select the paragraph by clicking anywhere in the paragraph.</li>
| |
| − | <li>In the Styles and Formatting window, select the style you want to update (single-click, not double-click) and then click on the '''New Style from Selection''' icon and select '''Update Style'''.</li>
| |
| − | [[Image:UpdateStyle.png|Updating a style from a selection]]<br>Updating a style from a selection.
| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The procedure to update another type of style (like character, page, or frame styles) is the same. Just select the item in question, select the style you want to update, and choose '''Update Style'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Using AutoUpdate (paragraph and frame styles only) ==
| |
| − | If the '''AutoUpdate''' checkbox is selected on the ''Organizer'' page of the Paragraph Style or Frame Style dialog box, applying direct formatting to a paragraph or frame using this style in your document automatically updates the style itself.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' If you are in the habit of manually overriding styles in your document, be sure that AutoUpdate is '''not''' enabled.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Loading or copying styles from another document or template ==
| |
| − | You can update styles by copying or loading them from a template or another document. See [[#Copying and moving styles|Copying and moving styles]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | = Creating new (custom) styles =
| |
| − | In addition to using the predefined styles provided by OOo, you can add new custom (user-defined) styles. OOo provides three ways to add styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[#Creating a new style using the Style dialog box|Create a new style using the Style dialog box]].
| |
| − | * [[#Creating a new style from a selection|Create a new style from a selection]].
| |
| − | * [[#Dragging and dropping a selection to create a style|Drag and drop a selection to create a new style]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Creating a new style using the Style dialog box ==
| |
| − | Open the Styles and Formatting window. Right-click on a style and select '''New'''. The style that you choose will be the basis for this new style. If you do not want too many of the options preset for you, choose the ''Default'' style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The dialog box displayed depends on the type of style selected. Figure 6 shows an example of a Style dialog box for a new paragraph style. The dialog boxes and choices for defining new styles are the same as for modifying existing styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' An exception to the above rule is conditional styles, which have a different dialog box. See [[#Working with conditional paragraph styles|Working with conditional paragraph styles]] for more information.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Linking styles ===
| |
| − | You can ''link'' a new style to an existing style. For example, suppose that the style ''mystyle'' specifies a font size of 12. Then you create another style (''mystyle2'') linked to ''mystyle'' and specifies underlined text. If you modify ''mystyle'' to font size 20, ''mystyle2'' inherits the new font size but still underlines the text.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:LinkStyles.png|Linking styles]]<br>Linking a new paragraph style to an existing style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' If styles are linked, changing the base style changes all the linked styles. Sometimes this is exactly what you want; other times it is not. It pays to plan ahead. Many predefined styles are already linked to other styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Creating a new style from a selection ==
| |
| − | You can create a new style from the formatting of an object in the current document. For instance, you can change the formatting of a paragraph or frame until it appears as you like, and then you can turn that object's formatting into a new style. This procedure can save time, because you do not have to create a new style as described above and remember all of the formatting settings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Change the formatting of the object (paragraph, frame, etc) to your liking.
| |
| − | # Open the Styles and Formatting window. From the icons at the top of the window, choose the type of style to create (paragraph, character, and so on).
| |
| − | # In the document, select the item to save as a style.
| |
| − | # In the Styles and Formatting window, click the '''New Style from Selection''' icon.
| |
| − | # In the Create Style dialog box, type a name for the new style. The list shows the names of existing custom styles of the selected type, if any. Click '''OK''' to save the new style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Dragging and dropping a selection to create a style ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can drag and drop a text selection into the Styles and Formatting window to create a new style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Open the Styles and Formatting window.
| |
| − | # Select some text and drag it to the Styles and Formatting window.
| |
| − | # In the Create Style dialog box, type a name for the new style. The list shows the names of existing custom styles of the selected type, if any. Click '''OK''' to save the new style.
| |
| − | # If the Paragraph Styles list is showing in the Styles and Formatting window, a new paragraph style will be added to the list. If Character Styles are active, the character style will be added to the list.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | = Copying and moving styles =
| |
| − | When you create a style in a document, it is available only within that document. Styles always stay with a document. So, for example, if you e-mail a document to another person, the styles go with it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Having created a style, you may want to transfer the style to another document. You can copy or move styles from one template or document to another in two ways:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[#Using the Template Management dialog box|Using the Template Management dialog box]].
| |
| − | * [[#Loading styles from a template or document|Loading styles from a template or document]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Using the Template Management dialog box ==
| |
| − | To copy or move styles using the Template Management dialog:
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>Click '''File > Templates > Organize'''.</li>
| |
| − | <li>At the bottom of the Template Management dialog box, choose either '''Templates''' or '''Documents''', as needed. For example, if you are copying styles between two documents, both entries should say Documents.</li>
| |
| − | [[Image:StylesTemplMgt.png|Template Management dialog]]<br>Choosing to copy styles from a document, not a template.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>To load styles from a file, click the '''File''' button. When you return to this window, both lists show the selected file as well as all the currently open documents.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Double-click on the name of the template or document, and then double-click the '''Styles''' icon to show the list of individual styles.</li>
| |
| − | [[Image:StylesTemplMgt2.png|Copying a style]]<br>Copying a style from one document to another.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>To ''copy'' a style, hold down the ''Control'' key and drag the name of the style from one list to the other.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Caution:''' If you do not hold down the ''Control'' key when dragging, the style will be moved from one list to the other. The style will be deleted from the list you are dragging it from.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Repeat for each style you want to copy or move. When you are finished, click '''Close'''.</li>
| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Loading styles from a template or document ==
| |
| − | {{:Loading styles from a template or document}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | = Deleting styles =
| |
| − | It is not possible to delete OOo's predefined styles from a document or template, even if they are not in use. However, custom styles can be deleted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To delete an unwanted style, right-click on it in the Styles and Formatting window and choose '''Delete'''. If the style is in use, the message shown below appears.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:StylesDel2.png|Deleting an applied style]]<br>Deleting an applied style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Caution:''' Make sure the style is not in use before deletion. Otherwise, all objects with that style will return to the default style and retain their formatting as manual formatting. This can be very problematic in a long document
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' If an unwanted style is in use, use '''Find & Replace''' to replace it with a substitute style before deleting it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the style is not in use, the message shown below appears.

| |
| − | = Working with paragraph styles =
| |
| − | [[Writer Guide: Introduction to Styles|Chapter 6]] (Introduction to Styles) covers the basics of using paragraph styles. This chapter looks at some advanced properties of paragraph styles and ways that you can use other features in OOo in conjunction with paragraph styles to do specific tasks like:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[#Controlling page breaks|Controlling page breaks]]
| |
| − | * [[#Controlling tab stops|Controlling tab stops]]
| |
| − | * [[#Specifying a relative font size|Specifying a relative font size]]
| |
| − | * [[#Selecting a language for a paragraph style|Selecting a language for a paragraph style]]
| |
| − | * [[#Rotating the text in a paragraph style|Rotating the text in a paragraph style]]
| |
| − | * [[#Kerning text|Kerning text]] (a feature that adjusts the letter spacing to make text more readable)
| |
| − | * [[#Using styles in outlining|Using styles in outlining]]
| |
| − | * [[#Including chapter or section names in page headers|Including chapter or section names in page headers]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Controlling page breaks ==
| |
| − | Writer automatically flows text from one page to the next. If you do not like the default settings, you can change them on the ''Text Flow'' page of the Paragraph Style dialog box.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Automatic page or column breaks ===
| |
| − | The ''Options'' section of the ''Text Flow'' page of the Paragraph Style dialog box provides settings to control what happens when a paragraph does not fit on the bottom of a page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-12.png|Controlling page breaks]]<br>Options for controlling automatic page or column breaks.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Do not split paragraph''' means that the paragraph is never split across two pages. If it does not fit on the bottom of one page, the entire paragraph moves to the top of the next.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Keep with next paragraph''' is appropriate for headings or the lead-in sentence to a list, to ensure that it is not the last paragraph on a page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Orphan control''' and '''Widow control'''. Widows and orphans are typographic terms. An ''orphan ''is the first line of a paragraph printed alone at the bottom of a page or column. A ''widow'' is the last line of a paragraph which appears alone at the top of the next page or column. Use these options to allow paragraphs to split across pages or columns but require at least 2 or more lines to remain together at the bottom or top of a page or column. You can specify how many lines must remain together.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Required page or column breaks ===
| |
| − | You can require a paragraph to start on a new page or column and specify the style of the new page. A typical use is for chapter titles that you always want to start on a new page. This topic is covered in more detail in [[Writer Guide: Formatting Pages|Chapter 4]] (Formatting Pages).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On the ''Text Flow'' page of the Paragraph Style dialog box:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # In the ''Breaks'' section, select '''Insert'''. Make sure that ''Type'' is set to '''Page''' and ''Position'' to '''Before'''.
| |
| − | # Select '''With Page Style''' and choose the page style from the list.
| |
| − | # To continue page numbering from the previous chapter, leave ''Page number'' set at '''0'''. To start each chapter's page numbering at 1, set ''Page number'' to '''1'''.
| |
| − | # Click '''OK'''.
| |
| − | : [[Image:WG7-13.png|Paragraph start on new page]]<br>Setting a paragraph style to always start on a new page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Controlling tab stops ==
| |
| − | Using tabs to space out material on a page is not recommended (depending on what you are trying to accomplish, a borderless table is usually a better choice), but if you do use tabs, do not use the default tabs set in '''Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > General''' (shown below); instead, define your own tab settings, as described in this section.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-14.png|Selecting a default tab stop interval]]<br>Selecting a default tab stop interval.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you use the default tab interval and then send the document to someone else who has chosen a different default tab interval, tabbed material will change to use the other person's tab settings. This may cause a major formatting problem, as shown below.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-15.png|Different default tabs]]<br>Default tab settings might be different.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To avoid this problem, specify all the tab settings for the paragraph, using the ''Tabs'' page of the Paragraph Style dialog box.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Here you can choose the type of tab: left, right, centered, or decimal; the character to be used as a decimal point; and the fill character—the characters that appear between the end of the text before the tab and the beginning of the text after the tab. A common use of a fill character is the dots between a heading and a page number in a table of contents.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:SetTabs.png|Specifying tab stops]]<br>Specifying tab stops for a paragraph style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Specifying a relative font size ==
| |
| − | If you are creating a style based on another style, you can specify a font size ''relative'' to that other style—either as a percentage or as a plus or minus point value (-2pt or +5pt). Relative font sizes are commonly used for Web pages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For example, the paragraph style ''Heading 1'' is based on the paragraph style ''Heading''. The font size of the paragraph style ''Heading'' is 14pt, and the font size of paragraph style ''Heading 1'' is specified as 115%. Thus the resultant font size of text in a paragraph formatted with paragraph style ''Heading 1'' is 14pt x 115% = 16.1pt.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To specify a percentage font size, in the Paragraph Style dialog box, go to the ''Font'' tab. In the ''Size'' box, enter the percentage amount followed by the symbol % (see below). Similarly, you can enter a plus or minus sign followed by the number of points to be added or subtracted from the base font size.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To change from a relative font size back to an absolute font size, enter the desired font size in points followed by the letters “pt".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-17.png|Relative font size]]<br>Selecting a type size based on a percentage.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is also possible to use a Percentage Font size for character styles. See the note in [[#Selecting a language for a paragraph style|Selecting a language for a paragraph style]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Selecting a language for a paragraph style ==
| |
| − | The language you select for a document (on '''Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages''') determines the dictionary used for spell checking, thesaurus and hyphenation, the decimal and thousands delimiter used, and the default currency format.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Within the document, you can apply a separate language to any paragraph style. This setting has priority over the language of the whole document. On the ''Font'' tab of the Paragraph Style dialog box, languages with installed dictionaries are marked in the ''Language'' list by a small '''ABC''' icon. When you check spelling, OOo will use the correct dictionary for paragraphs with this style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-18.png|Language selection]]<br>Selecting a language for a paragraph style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Note:''' You can assign a language to selected pieces of text in a paragraph using character styles, also on the ''Font'' page. This assignment has priority over the paragraph style and document language.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Rotating the text in a paragraph style ==
| |
| − | Two common uses for rotated paragraphs are to put portrait headers and footers on a landscape page and to fit headings above narrow table columns.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-19.png|Rotated text]]<br>A table with rotated headings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Writer Guide: Formatting Pages|Chapter 4]] (Formatting Pages) describes how to create portrait headers and footers on landscape pages by rotating ''characters''. You can achieve the same effect by defining a separate header or footer paragraph style specifically for landscape pages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As an example, we will apply rotated table headings to a preexisting table.
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>Create a new paragraph style. Name it ''Table Heading Rotated''.</li>
| |
| − | <li>On the ''Position'' page of the Paragraph Style dialog box, in the ''Rotation / scaling'' section, select '''90 degrees'''. Click '''OK''' to save the new style.</li>
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-21.png|Rotating 90 degrees]]<br>Rotating a paragraph 90 degrees.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Select the heading row of the table and apply the new style. Any text in the cells of the heading row is now rotated.</li>
| |
| − | <li>If the headings are aligned to the top of the cells, you may want to change the alignment to the bottom of the cells. To do this, click the '''Bottom''' button on the Table toolbar.</li>
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-20.png|Aligning text]]<br>Aligning text to the bottom of cells.
| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Kerning text ==

| − | ''Kerning'' means increasing or decreasing the amount of space between pairs of letters to improve the overall appearance of the text. Kerning automatically adjusts the character spacing for specific letter combinations. It is only available for certain font types and, for printed documents, only works if your printer supports it.

| − | == Using styles in outlining ==
| |
| − | Outline numbering is the feature that automatically numbers sections of a document, for example 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2 and 2.1. When sections are added or deleted, the numbering is automatically corrected.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Paragraph styles are the key to OOo's outline numbering feature. The default paragraph styles assigned to outline levels are the heading styles supplied with OOo: ''Heading 1'', ''Heading 2'', and so on. However, you can substitute any styles you wish, including custom (user-defined) styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | OOo's outline numbering feature is used for more than numbering headings. The paragraph styles specified on the [[#Choosing paragraph styles for outline levels|Outline Numbering dialog box]] determine which headings appear in the table of contents—see [[Writer Guide/Creating Tables of Contents, Indexes, and Bibliographies|Chapter 12]] (Tables of Contents, Indexes, and Bibliographies)—and some fields commonly used in headers and footers, as described in [[#Including chapter or section names in page headers|Including chapter or section names in page headers]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Choosing paragraph styles for outline levels ===
| |
| − | If you are using the default heading styles for the headings in your outline, and you are not using heading numbering, you do not need to do anything on the Outline Numbering dialog box. Setting up heading numbering is not covered in this chapter.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To use custom styles in place of the default heading styles:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Click '''Tools > Outline Numbering''' to open the Outline Numbering dialog box.
| |
| − | # Click the number in the ''Level'' box corresponding to the heading for which you want to change the paragraph style.
| |
| − | # In the ''Numbering'' section, choose from the drop-down list of paragraph styles the style you want to assign to that heading level. For example, when setting up a chapter in the ''Writer Guide'', I would click Level 1 and choose '''OOoHeading1''' (a custom style defined for the OOoAuthors project) to replace '''Heading 1'''.
| |
| − | # Repeat for each outline level that you want to change. Click '''OK''' when done.
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-24.png|Outline levels]]<br>Choosing paragraph styles for outline levels.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Including chapter or section names in page headers ==
| |
| − | In addition to page numbers, headers and footers often include the name of the chapter or section. Because these names change from one chapter or section to the next, you need to use a field that displays information relevant to each page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Click '''Insert > Fields > Other''' to open the Fields dialog box.
| |
| − | # On the ''Document'' page, select '''Chapter''' in the ''Type'' list. The ''Format'' list now shows four choices.
| |
| − | [[Image:WG7-25.png|Include chapter name in header]]<br>Including the chapter name in page header.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ''Layer'' box determines which outline level is displayed in the field. For example, '''Layer 1''' always displays the most recently found heading that has the paragraph style selected for '''Level 1''' in the Outline Numbering dialog box, '''Layer 2''' displays the most recent heading with the paragraph style selected for '''Level 2''' in outline numbering, and so on.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Note:'' A '''Chapter''' field in a page header always picks up the '''highest''' heading level on a page, even if you have specified a lower level in the ''Layer'' box. For example, if a page has a ''Heading 1'' and a ''Heading 2'' on it, then a '''Layer 2 Chapter''' name field in the header of that page will display the ''Heading 1'' paragraph, not the first ''Heading 2'' paragraph, as intended. In a footer, the layers work as intended.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | = Working with conditional paragraph styles =
| |
| − | A conditional paragraph style is another way of formatting text differently in different parts of your document. In some cases, you may find it saves time to use conditional styles rather than switching between styles as you type.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Making a paragraph style conditional means it changes its formatting depending on where it is used. For example, you may want the style ''MyTextBody'' to be black by default but turn white when inside a frame with a blue background.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Probably the most common use for conditional formatting is with single style outlining. Single-style outlining is a type of outline numbering designed with a ''Numbering'' style, rather than with '''Tools > Outline Numbering'''. Instead of using different styles, it changes the number formatting whenever you press the ''Tab'' key to create a subordinate heading.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The only trouble with single-style outlining is that all levels look the same. That is where a conditional paragraph style comes in handy. Assign the paragraph style to an outline numbering style in the ''Numbering'' page and then open the ''Condition'' page (Figure 26). There, you can assign the levels of the outline numbering style to other paragraph styles. Then, when you press the ''Tab'' key while using the paragraph style, each level of the outline takes on different formatting, making single-style outlining even more convenient than it is on its own.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Note:''' Predefined styles (other than ''Text Body'') such as ''Default'', ''Heading 1'', and ''Heading 2'' cannot be set to be conditional.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Caution:''' If you want to make a style conditional, you have to do it while the style window still is open for the first time. After the window closes, the ''Condition'' tab no longer appears in the window.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Defining the conditional style ==
| |
| − | When you create a conditional style, you are saying “in this condition make this style look like that other style". For example, “When typing into a footer, make this style look like the ''my_footer'' paragraph style; when typing into a table, make this style look like the ''table_text'' paragraph style".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In addition to setting the normal (unconditional) properties of the style, you need to define which other style it will look like in different situations. You do this on the ''Condition'' tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To set up a conditional paragraph style:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Define a new paragraph style.
| |
| − | # Select all the paragraph properties for the style. '''Do not click OK!'''
| |
| − | # Click the ''Condition'' tab.
| |
| − | # Select the '''Conditional Style''' checkbox.
| |
| − | # Select the first condition in the ''Context'' list (left side of the dialog box) and select the style you want for this condition in the right-hand list.
| |
| − | # Click '''Apply'''. The name of the paragraph style appears in the middle list.
| |
| − | # Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each condition you want to have linked to a different style.
| |
| − | # Click '''OK'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : [[Image:WG7-26.png|Condition page]]<br>Condition page for paragraph styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the style is selected, you will see that the formatting of your text depends on the context.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | = Working with frame styles =
| |
| − | Frames are often used as containers for text or graphics. To provide consistency in the appearance of frames used for similar purposes, it is a good idea to define styles for frames. For example, you might want photographs to be enclosed in a frame with a drop-shadowed border, line drawings in a frame with a plain border, marginal notes in a frame without a border but with a shaded background, and so on.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Writer provides several predefined frame styles, which you can modify as needed; and you can define other frame styles. The technique for defining and applying frame styles is similar to that for other styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' There is considerable overlap between the uses of frames and of sections for some page layout purposes. You may find it useful to take a look at [[Writer Guide: Formatting Pages|Chapter 4]] (Formatting Pages) for information about the use of frames and sections.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == How frame styles work ==
| |
| − | When an object is added to Writer, it is automatically enclosed in a frame of a predetermined type. The frame sets how the object is placed on the page, as well as how it interacts with other elements in the document. You can edit the frame by modifying the frame style it uses or by using a manual override when a frame is added to the document.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Because frames and objects are used together, it sometimes is easy to forget they are separate elements. In some cases, such as charts, you can edit the frame and object separately, so the distinction is worth remembering.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Unlike other elements that use styles, frames can be defined only partly by their style because their use can vary so much. Several elements of frames, such as the anchor and protected elements, need to be defined manually for individual frames.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can format a frame manually when you select '''Insert > Frame'''. The dialog box that opens contains all the settings available when frame styles are set up, as well as some only available when the frame is inserted. As with other styles, the most efficient way to format frames is in the Styles and Formatting window.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Planning the styles ==
| |
| − | If you are using a mix of graphics, you may want to define two related styles, one with a border line for graphics with white backgrounds and one without a border for all other backgrounds. You also may want to design one or more frames for text only.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Otherwise, the default frame styles (listed in Table 1) cover most users' needs. The only significant addition that many users might need is one or more styles for text frames.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''Table 1. Various frame styles and their uses''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {|
| |
| − | ||'''''Style'''''||'''''Comments and Use'''''||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||Formula||The frame style used for formulas. The default includes '''AutoSize''', which adjusts the size of the frame to the formula.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||Frame||The default frame style.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||Graphics||The default style for graphics. The defaults include autosizing to fit the graphic, no text wrap, and a thin border around the frame. These are reasonable defaults, except for the border. Unless the background of the graphic is white and the document's background also is white, the border usually is unnecessary.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||Labels||The default style for use with '''File > New > Labels'''. It seems to be used by OpenOffice.org automatically and is not intended for users at all.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||Marginalia ||A style for placing a frame beside the left margin. As the name suggests, the ''Marginalia'' style is intended for comments added in the margin of text. The style also is useful for creating sideheads—headings against the left margin, which often are used in technical documentation. To set up sideheads, create body text styles with two inches or more indentation from the left. Then, place the cursor at the start of a body text paragraph, add the frame, and apply the ''Marginalia'' style.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||OLE||The default style for OLE objects and floating frames. The default places the frame at the top and center of a body of text.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ||Watermark||The default style for a watermark, a graphic placed as the background to a body of text. The default is a Through wrap, with text passing over the frame and anything in it. The graphic should be faint enough that text still is readable over top of it.||
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Formatting frames ==
| |
| − | You can access frame settings by selecting '''New''' or '''Modify''' in the Styles and Formatting window for a frame style or by selecting '''Insert > Frame''' from the menu. Once a frame is added to a document, you can double-click the frame to open the Frame dialog box or modify the style in the Styles and Formatting window.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Frame settings are available from the following tabbed pages:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * ''Type'' page: sets the size and position of the frame. One of the most useful options here is '''AutoSize''', which automatically adjusts the frame to the object it contains. If the frame style is one used automatically, then this option should be selected.
| |
| − | * ''Options'' page: sets whether the contents of the frame are printed and able to be edited in a read-only document. The tab also sets the text direction, which is useful if you are using the frame for contents in a language that uses right-to-left text direction.
| |
| − | * ''Wrap'' page: sets how text is positioned in relation to the frame and how close text comes to a frame. If you want the frame contents to stand out from the paragraphs around it, set the wrap to '''None'''. This probably is the single most important tab for frames.
| |
| − | * ''Background'' page: sets the background color or graphic. This tab is useful mostly for text frames in complex page layouts, in which a text frame has an appearance different from the general background of the page.
| |
| − | * ''Border'' page: sets the line around the frame, if any. Many beginning designers make the mistake of adding a border to every frame. However, when a colored background distinctly marks the division between the frame's contents and the rest of the page, borders are unnecessary.
| |
| − | * ''Columns'' page: sets the number of columns used in the frame. This tab can be ignored unless the frame is being used for text.
| |
| − | * ''Macro'' page: sets a macro to use with the frame. These options are useful only in an on-line Writer or HTML document.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Applying frame styles ==
| |
| − | Whenever you insert an object into a document, it will automatically have a frame around it. Some designers like to add frame styles to introduce variation. For example, you could have two different frame styles for graphics: one that is centered for small graphics and another that is left-aligned for graphics that take up the entire width of the main frame. In such a case, you will need to add at least one frame style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To apply a style to a frame:
| |
| − | # Select the frame.
| |
| − | # Bring up the Styles and Formatting window (for example, by pressing ''F11'').
| |
| − | # Click the '''Frame Styles''' icon (the third one from the left).
| |
| − | # Double-click the frame style you want.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' When a frame is selected, the Apply Style list at the left of the formatting toolbar displays frame styles. You can use this to change the style of a frame.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Most of a frame's design can be set in the style. However, the following options must be set manually:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Anchoring: how the frame is positioned in relation to the rest of the page's contents ('''Format > Anchor''').
| |
| − | * Arrangement: the frame's position in a stack of objects ('''Format > Arrange''').
| |
| − | * Adding a hyperlink: so that a click on the frame opens a Web page or another document in an HTML file ('''Insert > Hyperlink''').
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The right-click menu also has items for anchoring and arrangement, as well as for wrap and alignment.

| − | = Working with list (numbering) styles =
| |
| − | You can define the appearance of lists by using list (numbering) styles, which include styles for bullet lists as well as numbered lists.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | OOo uses the terms “numbering style" and “list style" inconsistently, but they are the same thing. For example, the tooltip in the Styles and Formatting window says “List Styles", but its style dialog box says “Numbering Style".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After setting up a list style, you can associate it with one or more paragraph styles. To create a hierarchy of numbered paragraphs, use a series of list styles and define other (unnumbered) paragraphs to fit the indentation or spacing patterns of the numbered paragraphs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Example of list style usage ==
| |
| − | This example shows how to have Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3) with no following punctuation, lined up as shown in the illustration below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : [[Image:ListEx.png|List example]]
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>In the Styles and Formatting window, select '''List Styles''' (top), and either '''All''' or '''Hierarchical''' in the box at the bottom. If you want to create a new style, right-click on the window and select '''New'''; then define the style. However, the following example uses one of the OOo-supplied style names: ''List 1''.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Select ''List 1'', right-click and select '''Modify'''. On the Numbering Style dialog box, either choose a predefined style on the ''Numbering Style'' tab or design a new style on the ''Options'' tab. We will use the ''Options'' tab.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Choose '''1, 2, 3''' in the ''Numbering'' box and delete anything in the ''Before'' and ''After'' boxes. In the ''Level'' box, leave '''1-10''' (the default) highlighted.</li>

| − | [[Image:WG7-28.png|List-numbering style]]<br>Designing a list-numbering style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>On the ''Position'' page, increase ''Spacing to text'' from the default to, say, 0.65cm and change ''Numbering alignment'' to '''Right'''. Increase the ''Minimum space numbering <-> text'' value, if necessary. The values depend on the typeface, type size, and personal preference. Try a few combinations to see what looks best.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Click '''OK''' to set the changes. Now the modified style can be used. If the style has already been used in the document, those paragraphs in this style will now reflect the changes.</li>

| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can apply this numbering style directly to any paragraph or assign it to a paragraph style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To assign a numbering style to a paragraph style, open the Paragraph Style dialog box (see page 5), go to the ''Numbering'' page and choose the numbering style defined. (The name of the paragraph style does not have to match the name of the numbering style.)

| − | = Using outline-numbering styles =
| |
| − | Outline numbering (sometimes called multi-level numbering) is a numbered list with indented numbered sections. Rather than just a list of numbered items (1,2,3...), an outline-numbered list may have item 1, then indented items numbered 1,2,3; or i,ii,iii; or some other numbering method before the main number 2.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With outline-numbering styles you can achieve any combination of numbering formats you want. To set up outline numbering styles assigned to paragraph styles, follow the procedure for ordinary numbered lists but use the ''Outline'' tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' The selections under '''Tools > Outline Numbering''' may be sufficient; you may not need to use outline-numbering styles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can modify the predefined style, or define a new style. This example uses one of the supplied styles, ''Numbering 1''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As an example, we will use outline-numbering to produce the following effect:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : I. Level-1 list item
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :: A. Level-2 list item
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ::: i. Level-3 list item

| |
| − | <li>In the Styles and Formatting window, choose ''Numbering Styles'' and select a style such as ''Numbering 1''. Right-click on the style and select '''Modify'''.</li>
| |
| − | <li>On the Numbering Style dialog box, go to the ''Outline'' page, where you will find that one style matches our requirements. Click once on that style.</li>

| − | '''Tip:''' With outline numbering you can define different bullet styles for the different levels of a bullet list. Use the ''Bullets'' tab of the Numbering Style dialog box (not shown) to select the basic style. Return to the ''Options'' tab to customize the bullet for each indent level. Here you can set bullets to any character. See the ''Graphics'' tab for more bullets.

| − | = Working with page styles =
| |
| − | In Writer, ''page styles'' define the basic layout of pages, including page size, margins, headers and footers, borders and backgrounds, number of columns, and so on.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Writer comes with several page styles, which you can modify as you wish, and you can define your own. You can have one or many page styles in a single document.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Note:''' All pages in a Writer document are based on styles. If you do not specify a page style, Writer uses the ''Default'' page style.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To change the layout of individual pages, either define a new page style or use one of the techniques (sections, frames, or tables) described in [[Writer Guide: Formatting Pages|Chapter 4]] (Formatting Pages).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This section describes one use of page styles. Other uses are discussed in [[Writer Guide: Introduction to Styles|Chapter 6]] (Introduction to Styles) and [[Writer Guide: Formatting Pages|Chapter 4]] (Formatting Pages).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Tip:''' Any modifications of page styles, including the ''Default'' page style, apply only to the document you are working on. If you want the changes to be the default for all documents, you need to put the changes into a template and make that template the default template. See [[Writer Guide: Working with Templates|Chapter 10]] (Working with Templates) for details.

| − | == Setting up a book chapter sequence of pages ==
| |
| − | Book chapters typically start on a right-hand page, with the first page of the chapter having a different layout from the rest of the pages. The other pages in the chapter are “mirrored" for double-sided printing. For example, page numbers in the header or footer may be positioned on the outside edge of pages and a wider margin (allowing for binding) may be placed on the inside edge.
