Of course, you can change character styles again 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 applies in a limited way to characters where you manually changed the formatting after you assigned the style (see next section).

To change a character style, proceed as follows:

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 only affects 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 with the characters of the document are treated as if the characters were formatted manually – and are thus retained even if you change formatting later in the style.

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.
