However, the secret of success in using Page Styles is a thing called Manual Break. This tutorial explains step by step to use them with examples. Enjoy writing!

Paragraph Style is paragraph design with a certain name. This is about how text looks around another text in same document. As you have learned from previous article, Headings in turn are actually Paragraph Styles for titles. With Paragraph Styles, you can make for example a small story book with a group of text which is normal surrounding another group of quotation text with different look, named NormalText and QuotesText respectively. To write your book, you just need to write whole text without formatting as plain text. To finish it, select some text to apply NormalText Style and select another to apply QuotesText Style. That's it! This way you save your time to do repetitive formatting as you have already designed their Paragraph Styles. For most cases, you even do not need to create a custom one as LibreOffice Writer already prepared many you can choose. You can also modify Paragraph Styles available if you wish.In this article we will learn how to use Paragraph Styles with examples. Happy writing!

Headings are automatic text styles used as titles. Headings are important parts of a document. Every heading is remembered by Writer and can be used to navigate, jump here and there, within long document quickly. You can use headings for titles and sub-sections; and on the other hand thanks to them you can also create table of contents like explained previously. PDF document you created if you used headings will show automatic table of contents as navigation items.
