How to Create a Paragraph Style
To create a paragraph style, you must oprn the Styles and Formatting window. (By pressing Ctrl-F11 or by going to the Format and then clicking on the Styles and Formatting sub-menu.) Then you can create a paragraph style using one of two methods:
- The first consists of specifying the characteristics that you want via the Format Paragraph window. (To open this window, go the to Format menu and choosing Paragraph....)
Once you have made the desired changes, click Ok. Then select the paragraph you just styled, and open the Styles and Formatting window, verify that the list of styles is that for paragraph styles by clicking on the first icon on the left (the one with the ¶ symbol on it). Then click on the icon that looks like a sheet of paper with a green cross on it. Choose New style from selection. A window upens where you can give the new stle a name. Enter the name and click on OK. The new style is created based on paragraph you styled previously.
- The second method consists of going directly to the Styles and Formatting window and clicking on the paragraph styles icon, and then Ctrl-clicking on any item in th elist. In the contextual menue that appears, choose New... The format paragraph menu appears, where you can set the formatting characteristics that you want. Be sure to give a name to the style in the Organizer. Then click on OK.
Keep in mind that the paragraph styles you create are only available in the document in which you create them. If you want the styles to be available in other documents, you must create a template.
