If you position your cursor in a paragraph, the Style for that Paragraph is shown on the left of the Formatting toolbar. If you have the Stylist open (F11 or /Format /Styles and Formatting) the Paragraph style under the cursor is highlighted; ditto for the character style under the cursor, and also the page style for the current page. The current page style is also shown centre left of the Status Bar. A useful guide to the predefined styles (which styles you can customise) is given at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=48530 -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
