<h2 xml-lang="en-US" id="hd_id3150439">Direct and Style Formatting</h2>
- <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3159254" role="paragraph">If you format a document without Styles, it is referred to as "direct" formatting. This means modifying text or other objects, such as frames or tables, by applying various attributes directly. The format applies only to the selected area and all changes must be made separately. Styles, on the other hand, are not applied to the text directly, but rather are defined in the Styles window and then applied. One advantage is that when you change a Style, all parts of the document to which that Style is assigned are modified at the same time.</paragraph>
- <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3147287" role="paragraph">You can remove direct formatting from your document by selecting the entire text with the shortcut keys <switchinline select="sys"><caseinline select="MAC"><keycode>Command</keycode></caseinline><defaultinline><keycode>Ctrl</keycode></defaultinline></switchinline><keycode>+A</keycode> and then choosing <menuitem>Format - Clear Direct Formatting</menuitem>.</paragraph>
+ <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id431619103899855">A style is a set of formatting atributes, grouped and identified by a name (the style name). When you apply a style to an object, the object is formatted with the set of attributes of the style. Several objects of same nature can have the same style. As consequence, when you change the set of formatting attributes of the style, all objects associated with the style also change their formatting attributes accordingly. Use styles to uniformly format a large set of paragraphs, cells, and objects and better manage the formatting of documents.</paragraph>
+ <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3159254" role="paragraph">When you do not use styles, and apply formatting attributes to parts of text directly, this is called Direct formatting (also called manual formatting). The formatting is applied only to the selected area of the document. If the document has several paragraphs, frames, or any other object, you apply direct formatting on each object. Direct formatting is available with the Format menu and with the Formatting toolbar.</paragraph>
+ <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id971619105747398">A direct formatting attribute applied on a object overrides the corresponding attribute of the style applied to the object.</paragraph>
