Re: [libreoffice-users] title1 style used for selected words, not paragraph

It has been widely used. balabala As you can see above, Abstract is in the same paragraph as the following sentences. I want to set Abstract as title1, not the whole paragraph. If I simply apply title1 style, then the paragraph is seen in the table of contents, which is not what I want. I could not just select Abstract, and apply the title1 style too. It doesn't work, but it works in MSoffice. So, what should I do ? Any suggestion is appreciated. I think you are going about it wrong. Paragraph styles are applied to paragraph-level objects, which can be actual paragraphs, headings, list items, etc. And if you turn on the non-printing characters like paragraph marks you can see each time you create a paragraph-level object because there will be a paragraph mark at the end. So if you are trying to apply a paragraph style, LibreOffice is correctly applying it to the whole paragraph-level object. If you want to apply a different style to a portion of a paragraph-level object you want to use a Character style. In the Styles and Formatting window that is the second icon, right next to Paragraph styles. You can define that any way you want and apply it to just a letter, a few letters, a word, or a few words.

MS Office Word has mixed styles, which are styles that behave differently whether they were applied to paragraph or characters. LibreOffice does not have that function. This is one of few areas where MS Word is actually better than LO Writer. In LO, you have paragraph styles and character styles. On your part of sentence, you must apply character-level styles. There is no way to automatically show these words in table of contents. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] title1 style used for selected words, not paragraph
Hi :) Hmmm, that sounds like something a bug-report/feature request could address fairly easily. The coding for it might be a nightmare but getting the request in might be fairly easy. There might even be one already that perhaps has unanswered questions (such as, would people really find it useful) Regards from Tom :) From: Steve Edmonds steve.edmo...@ptglobal.com To: Mirosław Zalewski mini...@poczta.onet.pl Cc: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tuesday, 14 May 2013, 18:42 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] title1 style used for selected words, not paragraph On 2013-05-15 04:14, Mirosław Zalewski wrote: On 14/05/2013 at 10:32, 胡小柯 hot123tea...@gmail.com wrote: If I simply apply title1 style, then the paragraph is seen in the table of contents, which is not what I want.
