The 'format' option is for changing the format of the text, changing the text font, text size, page format and text wrapping options. For many of these options, we can use short cut icons from formatting text tool bar - for example, the letter “B” and “I” can be used to make the text bold and italics. See the images in the 'Formatting options' gallery. You can format your text in many ways either through Format--->Text, as shown in the first image, (Image 15) or Format--->Character as shown in the second image (Image 16) or by changing the parameters on the tool bar.  Click on the Format menu option of LibreOffice Writer to see the options.
