A style is a set of formats that you can apply to selected pages, text, frames, and other
elements in your document to quickly change their appearance. When you apply a style, you
apply a whole group of formats at the same time.

Styles help improve consistency in a document. They also make major formatting changes
easy. Libre Office.org supports the six types of styles:

Page styles include margins, headers and footers, borders and backgrounds. In Calc, page
styles also include the sequence for printing sheets. If a page style is not specified, Writer
uses its built-in Default page style.

Paragraph styles control all aspects of a paragraph’s appearance, such as text alignment, tab
stops, line spacing, and borders, and can include character formatting.

.Character styles affect selected text within a paragraph, such as the font and size of text, or
bold and italic formats.

.Frame styles are used to format graphic and text frames, including wrapping
type, borders, backgrounds, and columns. Frames are like containers, which can hold text,
graphics and lists.

List styles apply similar alignment, numbering or bullet characters, and fonts to numbered or
bulleted lists.

Table styles Table Style category allows to format a table by adding borders, using different
text or border colour(s), aligning text inside the table, text colour

.Cell styles include fonts, alignment, borders, background, number formats (for example,
currency, date, number), and cell protection.

.Graphics styles in drawings and presentations include line, area, shadowing, transparency,
font, connectors, dimensioning, and other attributes.

.Presentation styles include attributes for font, indents, spacing, alignment, and tabs.
