Furthermore, the Track Changes feature also gives us the option to add comments while
reviewing a document.

20. Explain any 4 type of styles which are used in Writer.

Writer provides six Style categories, which are as follows:

(a) Page – all documents in Writer are based on pages, hence for formatting them, Page Style is
used. It defines basic page layout like page size, its margin, placement of header and footer,
footnote, borders and background. A document can have one or many page styles. If a page style
is not specified, Writer uses its built-in Default page style.

(b) Paragraph – after deciding on a page format, next is the document content, which is organised
in paragraphs. A paragraph begins and ends by pressing Enter key. Paragraph formatting
includes tab stops, text alignment, line spacing and borders. Usually, it also includes Character
styling attributes.

(c) Character – this styling is used to work on block of letters, i.e. word(s) in the paragraph
instead of the whole paragraph. By using character styles, you can change the appearance of a
part of a paragraph without affecting the other part. Character styles allow changing the text
colour, text size, highlighting text and emphasising it.

(d) Frame – using frames, a document can be organised in sections, so that each section of the
page can have a different appearance. Frames are like containers, which can hold text, graphics
and lists. Therefore, applying Frame Styles allows to format a frame by specifying its size,
position, border and how the text is placed around the picture

(e) List – to style lists in a document, the Writer provides a separate category. It can be used to
style lists by putting numbering or bullets of a different kind or specify numeric format.

(f) Table – using tables, a large amount of information can be organised and presented
effectively. Table Style category allows to format a table by adding borders, using different text
or border colour(s), aligning text inside the table, having different patterns or textcolour.
