Figure 226: The Organizer page displayed when a new style is created.
Depending on the style you are creating, you will find the following information on
this page:
Name: present on all the categoriesuse this field to give a name to the style
you are creating.
AutoUpdate: only present for paragraph and frame styles. If it is checked,
then Writer will apply any modification made manually to a paragraph
formatted with that style to the style itself.
Caution
If you are in the habit of manually overriding styles in your
document, be sure that AutoUpdate is not enabled, or you will
suddenly find whole sections of your document reformatted
unexpectedly.
Next Style: only available for paragraph and page styles. Use it to specify
which style will be applied to the next element. It is customary, for example, to
have a left page style followed by a right page, a first page followed by a left
page, a heading followed by body text, and so on. You will see in the example
later how this property is used. Predefined paragraph styles for lists or bullets
also make large use of the Next Style property.
Linked with: available for paragraph, character, and frame styles; it
determines the position of the style in the hierarchy. When creating a new style
and linking it to an existing style, all the starting properties of the style are
copied from the linked style. Refer to “Understanding linked styles on page
204 for further information on how linked styles work.
Category: available for all styles; use it to associate the new style with one of
the categories. Note that you cannot change the category of the predefined
styles. Setting this field is useful when filtering the contents of the Styles and
Formatting window.
Contains: shows a summary of the properties of the style.
