Unit 1 Digital Documentation

Q.1 What are styles? What are the advantages of using styles?
Ans 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 we apply a style, we
apply a whole group of formats at the same time. Using styles means that you stop saying
“font size 14pt, Times New Roman, bold, centered”, and you start saying “Title” because you
have defined the “Title” style to have those characteristics. In other words, styles mean that
you shift the emphasis from what the text (or page, or other element) looks like, to what the
text is.
Styles help improve consistency in a document. They also make major formatting changes
easy. For example, you may decide to change the indentation of all paragraphs, or change the
font of all titles. For a long document, this simple task can be prohibitive. Styles make the
task easy.
Q.2 Give any four styles supported by OpenOffice.org
Ans . 1. Page Style 2. Paragraph Style 3. Character Style and Frame style.
Q.3 Explain different types of Styles.
Ans. OpenOffice.org supports the following types of styles:
• Page styles include margins, headers and footers, borders and backgrounds. In Calc, page
styles also include the sequence for printing sheets.
• 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.

 List – to style lists in a document, the Writer provides a separate category. It can be used to
style lists by putting numbering or bullets of a different kind or specify numeric format.
 Table – using tables, a large amount of information can be organised and presented
effectively. Table Style category allows to format a table by adding borders, using different
text or border colour(s), aligning text inside the table, having different patterns or text
colour.

Q.5 Give two examples, where instead of style, using manual formatting will be
beneficial.

Ans. Manual formatting is also called direct formatting. It is beneficial when

2. We are using character styles which allow us to change the appearance of a part of a
paragraph without affecting the other part.
