* Chapter 1. Introduction to Styles
* What are Styles? What are the advantages of using styles?

* What are the different categories of style in LibreOffice writer document?
* LibreOffice Writer provides six style categories:
* Page: Defines basic page layout like size, margins, header/footer placement, footnotes, borders, and background.
* Paragraph: Includes formatting such as tab stops, text alignment, line spacing, and borders.
* Character: Works on blocks of letters and words, allowing changes to text color, size, and highlighting.
* Frame: Organizes documents into sections, allowing different appearances for each section. It includes size, position, border, and text wrapping around pictures.
* List: Used to style lists with numbering or different kinds of bullets, or to specify numeric formats.
* Table: Allows formatting tables by adding borders, using different text or border colors, aligning text inside, and applying different patterns or text colors.
* What is the Fill Format option in LibreOffice Writer?
* The Fill Format option provides a convenient way to apply a style to multiple words located at different places in the document, avoiding the need to apply it to each word separately.
* How will you load styles from a template?
* Styles can be loaded from a template or another document by following these steps:
1. In the style menu, click on "Load Style".
2. Select the document from which you want to load styles.
3. Click "OK" to copy the style.
* How can you modify the style?
* Styles can be modified in OpenOffice.org by loading or copying styles from another document or template, or by updating a style from a selection.
* How can we create our own styles?
* There are two ways to create a style:
* Creating a new style from a selection: Copying an existing style creates a new style that is only applied to the current document and not saved in the template.
* Dragging And Dropping to Create a Style: A new style can be created by dragging and dropping a text selection into the Styles and Formatting window.
