# Spotlight Character Styles

Activates spotlighting of character styles.

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

To access this command...

#### From the menu bar:

Choose Format - Spotlight - Character Formatting.

#### From the sidebar:

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

Character style spotlight displays the styled characters with a background colour and a call-out with a unique number for each applied character style in the document. The background colour and call-out number are also displayed in the corresponding character entry in the Styles deck on the sidebar.

Character styles are not given a colour and call-out number until they are applied in the document.

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

Character direct formatting attributes are Font, Font Effects, Position, Asian Layout, Hyperlink, Highlighting and Borders.

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