Challenge 3: A Character Style in Writer — Solution Walkthrough

Steps:
  1. Within a body paragraph (styled "Default Paragraph Style" or
     similar), select one important word.
  2. In the Styles panel (F11), switch to the Character Styles tab
     and double-click "Strong Emphasis."

What changed about the selected word:

Only that one word's own character-level formatting changed (Strong
Emphasis typically renders as bold), with its exact appearance
defined by the style itself rather than a hard-coded formatting
choice.

What stayed exactly the same about the rest of the paragraph:

Every other word keeps its existing paragraph style completely
untouched — same alignment, spacing, indentation, and paragraph-level
font, none of which a character style touches at all.

The exact Word & PowerPoint chapter and concept this mirrors:

This is precisely Word & PowerPoint Chapter 2's own "Strong" character
style exercise — a character style applying to a single selected run
of text within an otherwise unaffected paragraph, the exact same
scope distinction between paragraph styles (whole-paragraph) and
character styles (a selected run) that chapter established. Writer's
"Strong Emphasis" and Word's "Strong" are the same underlying concept,
just named slightly differently between the two applications.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This exercise confirms the central claim of this whole chapter: the
character-style concept itself required zero new learning — only
finding it in a different panel (Character Styles tab in F11) than
Word's own Styles gallery.
