This book is the third of five extracts from a much larger book entitled Designing with LibreOffice. It is intended for those who only want information on designing and using character and paragraph styles in LibreOffice, the popular free-licensed office suite. It consists of Chapter 5, 6, and 7 from the larger book. The extracts are: Part 1: Styles and Templates, Part 2: Choosing Fonts, Part 3: Character and Paragraph Styles, Part 4: Page, Frame, and List Styles, Part 5: Slide Shows, Diagrams, and Spreadsheets. Together, the five smaller books will contain most, but not all, of the information from the larger book. Any changes are minimal, and made for continuity or changes in structure made necessary by the changes in format.

Designing with LibreOffice is not the usual death march through the menu and standard tasks. Instead, the book takes two fresh approaches to the world's most popular free office suite.First, it explains the importance of using styles and templates in order to use LibreOffice with the most convenience and the least effort. By taking advantage of styles and templates, you can concentrate on self-expression, rather than format. Later, as you edit, you can make changes more quickly and with more precision.Second, it explains the basics of modern design and how to apply them in LibreOffice, expanding on the open secret that LibreOffice is as much a desktop publishing application as an office suite. It explains and illustrates the possible choices as you design, as well as the pros, cons, and considerations behind each choice - and, in some cases, what you should avoid altogether.
