How to edit text formatting menu in writer?

Post by librecobra »

Hello
I am a new OpenOffice user. I use Groupedbar Compact.
I wanted to add heading 5 style to my interface and I did. However, it looks smoething like that:
________
Default paragraph style
Clear formatting
***
Heading 4
Quotations
***
Heading
Heading 5
________
Now I want to delete "Heading" that i previeved and move heading 5 to be under the fourth one.
How do I do that?

"Heading" is added to the list whenever a style linked with "Heading" is applied in the document. AFAIK, there's no way to remove "Heading" without removing the link from the "Heading X" styles that have been used in the document. Regarding placing "Heading 5" directly below "Heading 4", AOO does that automatically, but it appears that LO won't add applied styles to the list above "Preformatted Text".
AOO 4.1.14 on Ubuntu MATE 22.04

@Bill
I understand the first sentence completly.
However I have questions regardint the second one. What is AOO and LO?
Can't i change the default template?
Anyway
From what I see, with the new document, there is just the stock selection (AKA everything above and including preformatted text.

AOO stands for Apache OpenOffice.
LO stands for LibreOffice.
AOO development stalls for years. LO is under active development.
They come from the same base (OpenOffice.org). The interface is almost the same but some differences result from the forking and the difference of development.
LibreOffice 24.8 on Xubuntu 24.10 and 24.8 portable on Windows 10
