Note

To copy the styles from another document, click the From File

button to open a window from which you can select the

required document.

Caution

If your document has a table of contents, and if you have used

custom styles for headings, the heading levels associated with

outline levels (in Tools > Outline Numbering) will revert to

the defaults of Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on when you load

styles this . You will need to change these back to your custom

heading styles. This is a bug.

Deleting styles

You cannot remove (delete) any of OOo’s predefined styles from a

document or template, even if they are not in use.

You can remove any user-defined (custom) styles; but before you do,

you should make sure the styles are not in use. If an unwanted style is

in use, you will want to replace it with a substitute style.

To delete unwanted styles, right-click on them (one at a time) in the

Styles and Formatting window and click Delete on the pop-up menu.

If the style is in use, you receive a warning message.

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 a

problem in a long document.

If the style is not in use, you receive a confirmation message; click Yes.

Using a template to create a document

To use a template to create a document:

1) From the main menu, choose File > New > Templates and

Documents. The Templates and Documents dialog opens. (See

Figure 45.)

2) In the box on the left, click the Templates icon if it is not already

selected. A list of template folders appears in the center box.

3) Double-click the folder that contains the template that you want

to use. A list of all the templates contained in that folder appears

in the center box.
