Question 1
Why use a heading style instead of formatting each heading separately?
A heading style keeps formatting consistent and makes the document easier to update. Heading levels also support navigation and automatic tables of contents.
What to learn
Styles apply a consistent set of formatting choices to document elements. Writer includes page, paragraph, character, frame, list and table styles; the Fill Format tool applies styles quickly, and users can create or update custom styles.
- A style stores formatting settings under a reusable name.
- Paragraph and character styles affect different parts of a document.
- Updating a style can change every element that uses it.
- Templates can carry styles into new documents.
Practical activity
Create a report with Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles, modify a heading style once, and confirm that all matching headings update. Save the document and a reusable template.
Use your school’s prescribed software version and teacher instructions. Keep personal information out of public practice files.

What does Fill Format do?

Question 3
How is a template useful?
A template stores reusable page design and styles so new documents can begin with a consistent structure.
