Loading Line and Arrow Styles

You can use styles to organize similar line and arrow types. LibreOffice provides a few standard style files that you can load and use in your document. If you want, you can add or delete elements from a style file, or even create a custom style file.

  2. Click the \<emph\>Load Line Styles\</emph\> button.

  3. Locate the file containing the line styles that you want to load, and then click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>. The file has the format [filename].sod.

To save a line styles file, click the \<emph\>Save Line Styles\</emph\> button, enter a filename, and then click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

To load an arrow styles file:
