The direct formatting overrides the formatting applied by the underlying style, so that if you change the style definitions, say to use a larger font, that may not echo through to the directly formatted text. If these are modified by using the facilities offered by the /Format menu or the Sidebar you are applying "Direct formatting", which changes only the text selected at the time of that application. What I mean by "master styles" are the basic styles of a document which define how it is formatted. What is included in or excluded from that category? Is the way to do it? Maybe starting with what you mean by "master stylesĪnd formatting".

See the tutorial because MS Word and AOO use different conventions for page margins and headers and footers.Īs a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. That being said it is probably simplest to set the page size first because that helps you to see what any individual page will look like. AOO fits it to whatever page size you specify. You have your text, tables, bullets, images etc, which is the document content. The page size can be set or changed at any time. If only others would also read some documentation before jumping in and trying to guess how AOO works! The display in that window can be restricted to the styles actually used by selecting "Applied styles" from the dropdown in its bottom bar and switched also to other selection choices. It can be helpful to always use /Format /Styles and Formatting (F11 key) to make changes to the master styles and formatting. At any time you can change page size, margins and other parameters, but always on a page style by page style basis. You can set different margin and other parameters for every page style. I have not checked the other parameters, but I would suspect they do not trickle down.Īs there are only ten predefined page styles, it is not a great burden to verify the page size and margins for each. If, when you open a new, blank, file, you immediately set the page size and margins, the page size will trickle down to the other page styles, but the margins will not. In that case you need to check and adjust the settings for each page style used or to be used. When you set the page sizes in an existing file, the settings of page size do not trickle down from Default page style to the other page styyles.
