Hi Garry,
Here's how I use this facility in LO 5.2.x.x on Windows & Linux x64:
* Manually format a paragraph with the attributes (eg. font, indents,
color, bold, italic, etc.) you want the new style to have.
* Highlight the manually formatted paragraph. (This may not be
essential, but it's what I choose do.)
* From the styles menu choose "New Style... Shift F11", or click the
"New Style" icon on the formatting toolbar (Usually to the left of
the font selection drop-down list.)
* In the dialog that opens, give the new style a name and click OK.
Hope this helps.
Dave
