I open LibreOffice writer and make several indents such as these:
- xxx
- yyy
- zzz
I put the ‘’- xxx’’ indent on Level 1, the ‘’- yyy’’ indent on Level 2 (with Tab), the next indent on the next level. And all the time the ‘’-’’ before the text (xxx or yyy or zzz) stays the same, but I would like the ‘’-’’ on Level 2 to be, for example, ‘’*’’ instead. And perhaps the ‘’-’’ on Level 3 to be ‘’+’’ and so on.
So I download the Writer Guide for Libre Office and follow the istructions of Chapter 7 and try to create my own Style. I succeed. (woot!!) So the document I am working on has my specific Style. OK, so I have to highlight the custom Style and double click my own (under Format > Styles and Formatting > List Styles > and double click on my newly created Style) whenever I start a fresh indentation section in that same document, but I’ll survive.
I close the document, all happy I managed to do something for being completely computer-innept, and open a new LibreOffice Writer document. And when I try to use my Style from the previous document? Nothing. My Style wasn’t saved for all the LibreOffice Writer documents only for that specific one.
Now my question is: how do I apply my own Style to all future Writers? Is it possible to configure my own Style directly in Format > Bullets and Numbering? Can I even change these default settings?
If anyone has any ideas, please share them.
PS: I apologise if I cannot use proper ‘‘computer language’’ as I do not know a lot about computers. I hope it can be understood from the above what my problem is.
