# Spotlight Paragraph Styles

Activates spotlighting of paragraph styles.

Spotlighting paragraphs styles allows a better control of the application of paragraph styles in the document.

To access this command...

#### From the menu bar:

Choose Format - Spotlight - Paragraph Formatting.

#### From the sidebar:

Open the Styles - Paragraph deck, mark Spotlight check box.

Paragraph spotlight displays a color and a unique number code for each applied paragraph style in the document. The color and number are also displayed in the corresponding paragraph entry in the Styles deck on the sidebar.

Paragraph styles are not given a color and number until they are applied in the document.

in addition to the color and unique number assigned to the style, paragraphs with paragraph direct formatting attributes are indicated with a hash pattern in the visual indicator on the left margin.

When the extended tips features is enabled in LibreOfficeDev - Preferences Tools – Options – LibreOffice – General, a tooltip shows the style name and many attributes of the style applied.

Paragraph direct formatting attributes are Outline & List, Indents & Spacing, Tabs, Area, Transparency, Borders, Drop Caps, Alignment, Text Flow and Asian Typography.

Character properties are not attributes of paragraph direct formatting properties, therefore character styles and character direct formatting does not affect paragraph spotlighting.

Use the Spotlight Direct Character Formatting command to display character direct formatting.
