	<h1>Create a New Style</h1>

	<p>You may find that the styles in the Normal template do not have the characteristics you need for a particular document.  AbiWord allows you to create a new style unique to your writing requirements.</p>

<p>Let's create a new style and apply it to some text in your document by following these simple steps:</p>

	<ul>
		<li>Select <span class="menu">Format</span> from the <span class="menu">Menu</span> bar
		<li>Select <span class="menu">Style</span>
		<p class="note">The <span class="dialog">Styles</span> dialog box appears.</p>
		<li>Select <span class="button">New</span> 
		<p class="note">The <span class="dialog">New Style</span> dialog box appears.</span></p>
		<li>Type a name for the new style in the Style Name field
		<li>Select Paragraph or Character from the Style Type drop-down 
		<li>Select the <span class="button">Paragraph</span> at the bottom of the window to choose the paragraph elements that you would like to format for the style
		<li>Make alignment, indentation, and spacing changes in the <span class="dialog">Paragraph</span> dialog box
		<li>Select <span class="button">OK</span> to set the style
		<li>Select <span class="button">OK</span> to close the <span class="dialog">New Style</span> dialog box
		<li>Choose All from the List drop-down to view all the styles available and to make sure that your new style has been added
		<li>Select the new style you created
		<li>Select <span class="button">Apply</span> 
		<li>Select <span class="button">Close</span>
</ul>

	<p>You have just completed this section of Lesson 5 and now know how to create a new style.  If you'd like to learn how to modify or rename style, select Next.  If you'd like to go to a different section within this lesson or to a new lesson, choose from one of the options in the Navigation bar.</p>
