Writer, showing paragraph styles.

Using Fill Format mode

Use Fill Format to apply a style to many different areas quickly without

having to go back to the Styles and Formatting window and double-

click every time. This method is quite useful when you need to format

many scattered paragraphs, cells, or other items with the same style.

1) Open the Styles and Formatting window and select the style you

want to apply.

2) Click the Fill Format mode icon .

3) To apply a paragraph, page, or frame style, hover the mouse over

the paragraph, page, or frame and click. To apply a character

style, hold down the mouse button while selecting the characters,

Clicking on a word applies the character style for that word.

Repeat step 3 until you made all the changes for that style.

4) To quit Fill Format mode, click the Fill Format mode icon again

or press the

Esc

key.

Caution

When this mode is active, a right-click anywhere in the

document undoes the last Fill Format action. Be careful not to

accidentally right-click and thus undo actions you want to

keep.

Using the Apply Style list

After you have used a style at least once in a document, the style name

appears on the Apply Style list at the left-hand end of the Formatting

toolbar, next to the Styles and Formatting icon.
