Modifying styles

To change an existing style, right-click on it in the Styles and

Formatting window and choose Modify from the pop-up menu. (For

Presentation styles, Modify is the only choice.)

The dialog box for the modification of a graphic style is the same as the

one for creating a graphic style (Figure 24); while the dialog box for

modifying a presentation style is simpler and more similar to the one to

modify a paragraph style in Writer.

Make the required changes to the style and when finished click OK to

save them.

Updating a style from a selection

To update a style from a selection:

1) Select an item that has the format you want to adopt as a style.

2) In the Styles and Formatting window, select the style you want to

update (single-click, not double-click), and then click the Update

Style icon (see Figure 27).
