In writer the user has saved his preferences, such as Styles
Formatting, in a document that is used as a new document template.
How can the user use these preferences in existing documents?
For instance, lab regulation dictate that Heading 1 be centered,
bold, and underlined (and only used oned once in any particular
document), and all other headings be right-aligned, bold, and
underlined. This was easy to configure for a new document template.
But when opening documents sent from another faculty with different
regulations, the wrong formatting is applied. How can the users
import their Styles preferences?
o Go to Format | Styles and Formatting (or click the Styles and
Formatting button in the Formatting toolbar, or press F11).
o In the Styles and Formatting window, click the "New Style from
Selection" button and select Load Styles... .
o Select the template from which you wish to load styles. If the
styles are in a document, click From File... instead. Tick Overwrite
if you wish to overwrite existing styles with new versions having the
same names.
All this won't work magic, of course: you will still have to apply
appropriate styles to various parts of your document. But if
appropriate parts have already been styled as "Heading 1" and so on,
simply importing new versions of the relevant styles - and ticking
Overwrite - should achieve what you need immediately.
I trust this helps.
