If you know how to use styles, you can open the Styles and
Formatting window using

paragraph style allows you to modify the appearance of all three
headings. See the

Step 10: Change the background of a form.
The background for a form can be a color, or a graphic (picture). You
can use any of the colors in the Color Table at Tools > Options >
OpenOffice.org > Colors. If you know how to create custom colors,
you can use them. You can also use a picture (graphic file) as the
background. We will use a picture found in OOo: sky.gif (Figure 221).
Since the background is dark in places, many of the labels and
headings will need changing in order to be seen.

the labels are enclosed in it.
