Another way to
create a style, is by using the New Style dialog
box. This allows you to create styles for future use in the
document, instead of by an example you have typed. Some prefer
to create all of their styles first using this dialog box, before
starting their document.
1. From the Format
menu, select Style.
The Style
dialog box appears as shown below. Choose the New
button.
2. The New
Style dialog box appears.
Type a name for your style in the Name
box. In this example, I am creating a style called
"Subheading".
3. If the
style is for characters, as in a title, select Character
from the Style type drop
down menu. Choose Paragraph
if the settings are for paragraphs - attributes like line spacing
and indentation.
4. Choose Format
and select and modify the attributes listed until you are satisfied
with the style.
Note:
Once you have defined all the attributes needed, you can assign a
shortcut keystroke to the style with the Shortcut
Key button. This
allows you to press the shortcut keys on your keyboard to use the
style, without having to choose the name from the Style
box list.
5. Choose OK.
Choose New
again to define another style, or choose Apply
or Close
to return to the document.
