Daniel,
(although I am not Daniel I try to answer some of your
questions ... ;) )
Thanks.

When one exports to PDF a thirty page document is produced it
looks good except that there are no links from the TOC to the
body of the text - I'm not sure whether Adobe 7 has that
capability.
If you use File > Export to PDF, you should select "tagged PDF" in
the PDF Options-window (or something like that ... I am using the
German version of OOo here ... ;) ).
In the English 1.9.122 there is no reference to tagged PDF in the File
Menu.
However the Help has a reference:
Tagged PDF
Selects to export special tags into the corresponding PDF tags. This
can increase file sizes by huge amounts.
Some tags that are exported are table of contents, hyperlinks, and
controls.
There are Export ... and Export to PDF entries in the menu. The first
provides two options:
i Export to PDF
ii Export to XHTML
Neither behaves as expected.
Than your TOC is linked to the
text ... ;)
When one exports to XHTML one gets a 122KB file which Firefox
does not undestand ( this is about one tenth the size of the PDF
file).
I think it is better to use "Save as" and to choose HTML as format
there. I have used it a couple of time and it seems to be "valid"
HTML ... ;)
Save as works adequately. The colon on the title page is wonky.
When viewed by Firefox the image is wider than the screen and there is
no horizontal scroll bar.
Incidentally,
(a) Figure 7 has an inoccuous spelling error. Tittle should be Title.
(b) The W3C Validator reports 31 errors on the html file. I've
appended the start of the file, I hope that it comes through in a
text message..
I do not know, how good the implementation of XHML in Firefox is, it
could be a bug ...
Yes, it would be better left out until it is operational.
Yes, that was my impression.
When one sends to HTML one gets many files. Aside from a wonky
colon on the title page the rendering looks adequate.
I have tried this with an document I am reading at the moment, but I
only get one document, so I cannot confirm this ... :(
What kind of document are you using?
The document I was using was Daniel's draft on Styles.
(0206WG-IntroductionToStyles, converted to odt)

HTH
Thomas.
P.S.: Could you stop sending HTML mails, please, and also wrap your
lines after 68 or 72 characters, please?
Sorry about that. I've added OO Authors to my address book now, with a
"Send Text" flag set.
With Netscape, I used to be able to wrap text at say 68, I don't seem to
be able to do this with
Thunderbird. The Thunderbird does wrap the incoming messages.
I have appended a copy of my original message, as other isues are
raised, and reduced the line
length where necessary.
Best wishes,
Colin W.

Daniel,
I have been using your document to explore OOo 1.9.122. First, I
converted it to .odt.
This seemed to go OK except that the hyperlinks from the Table of
Contents appeared dead.
I have a requirement similar to the example you gave "The title must
appear at the top-right of
every page except the first", except that I have some text which is to
appear on the left side of
the header page as well.
I find that Left Header and Right Header seem to be mutually exclusive.
Only the last one
used of these is effective.
It seems that the Format => Page => header/footer operate independently
of the style system.
When one exports to PDF a thirty page document is produced it looks good
except that there
are no links from the TOC to the body of the text - I'm not sure whether
Adobe 7 has that
capability.
When one exports to XHTML one gets a 122KB file which Firefox does not
undestand ( this
is about one tenth the size of the PDF file).
When one sends to HTML one gets many files. Aside from a wonky colon on
the title page
the rendering looks adequate.
There are still no links from the Table of Contents to the detail
beyond. There are no links from
the end of one chapter to the start of the next. This reduces the value
of HTML for presenting
this type of document.
You might consider Python <http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html> as a
more reader friendly style of presentation. This includes a
Table of Contents, with links to the world beyond and an Index with
links back into the text.
Regarding your presentation, it has helped me get a better grasp of
style usage. It would be a
little more useful if it included an index and provided a list of the
various basic styles (i.e. those
included with the downloaded package) together with information about
the default
characteristics of each style.
Thanks for all the work you put into this.
Best wishes,
Colin W.
