I'm trying to wrap my head around the theory of how paragraphs are managed in OO. (Using OO 3.3 debian on ubuntu). >From an earlier posting with input from Brian and Andy I've arrived at the following understanding of how paragraphs are managed. The sequence I describe follows (to my understanding) the order of precedence. ----------------------------- 1)Default Document : >From Tools->Options->OpenOffice.Org Writer->General, set "Tab stops" ----------------------------- 2)Paragraph Style : With cursor on a paragraph, the bottom paragraph style will be displayed (on my setup) at the leftmost of the lowermost toolbar at the top of the OO main window. The font will be displayed in a window to the right of the style window. To the left of the style window is an icon, which if clicked will bring up the "Styles and Formatting" window. The leftmost icon on this window should be selected, if not - select it. Once should then be able to find an item with the same name as the style. One may need to try some other options from the drop-down list at the bottom of the window. Right-clicking on the style name and choosing "Modify" will allow one to edit attributes of the paragraph style. ----------------------------- 3)Individual paragraph With the cursor in a paragraph, right clicking will bring up a dialogue menu and choosing "Paragraph" from the menu will allow editing of attributes for the individual paragraph.
:)How am I doing so far? I'd welcome edits, corrections and comments. When it is determined that I have "got it", I will restate for archival purposes and enter the conclusion into my own knowledge base.
