Hi Garry,

Here's how I use this facility in LO 5.2.x.x on Windows & Linux x64:

  * Manually format a paragraph with the attributes (eg. font, indents,
    color, bold, italic, etc.) you want the new style to have.
  * Highlight the manually formatted paragraph. (This may not be
    essential, but it's what I choose do.)
  * From the styles menu choose "New Style... Shift F11", or click the
    "New Style" icon on the formatting toolbar (Usually to the left of
    the font selection drop-down list.)
  * In the dialog that opens, give the new style a name and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Dave
