<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">The Styles dialog allows you to create, modify, and delete styles in your AbiWord document. You can also apply existing styles using the Style drop-down menu on the formatting toolbar: see the help document for that toolbar for further details.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">Changes that you make from this dialog only apply to the current document. To change the default styles for a new document, see the documentation on </span><a href="../howto/howtonormaltemplate.html"><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">How To Change Default Styles</span></a><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">This window shows a list of all the styles in the document which meet the criterion selected under 'List', below. You can scroll through the list using the scroll bars, and click on a style to select it.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">This is a menu which allows you to choose which styles to show. To get the menu, click on the button to the right of the box, then click on one of the options to select it. The options are:</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">This option shows all styles which have been defined by the user of the program, rather than coming built-in. This does include styles that other users have defined.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">This shows you what individual characters formatted according to the currently-selected style would look like.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">This box lists the properties of the style. The properties are all the formatting options that are applied by that style.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">This button opens the Modify Style dialog to modify the selected style. If you click it while no style is selected, you get a warning dialog.</span></p>
<p><span xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">Pressing this button deletes the currently-selected style. If that style is built-in, nothing happens when you press the button.</span></p>
<p>This button opens the documentation for this dialog.</p>
