Formatting worksheets > Character styles > Changing character styles

Of course, you can change character styles at any time.

Important: When you change the formats stored in a character style, all cells using this style are changed accordingly. However, this automatic reformatting is limited to characters where you manually changed the formatting after assigning the style (see next section).

To change a character style, proceed as follows:

1.	Double-click on a cell.

2.	Right-click to open the context menu and select the entry Character style.

3.	Click on the Edit button in the dialog box.

4.	Make the desired changes to the style.

5.	Click on OK.

6.	Exit the dialog box with Close.

Deleting or renaming character styles

The Delete button in the dialog box of the command Character style, deletes the selected style in the current document. To give a style a new name, click on Rename and type the new name. This also affects only the current document.

Note: After you delete a character style, the formatted characters retain their formatting. These characters are now directly assigned the character style on which the deleted style was based. For more information, see "Based on" character styles. Those formatting options that were explicitly set in the deleted style and now remain to the characters of the document are treated as if the characters were formatted manually – and are thus retained even if the style was changed.

Deleting or renaming character styles in a document template

To delete or rename the styles in a document template, open the document template, make the changes there and save the template.
