WG Chapter 4--Formatting Pages--was uploaded into the drafts subfolder in the Feedback.

Introduced or modified some OOo styles:
(1) OOoKeyboardInput - character style used for entering keyboard text in procedures: eliminates the need to use quotations marks in the exposition; derived from OOoStrongEmphasis style with Light Blue color replacing Black. (2) OOoAboveList paragraph style was modified - Changed font from Times New Roman, Regular to Garamond, Bold. This style was used for introducing bulleted lists. [Garamond is an improvement over TNR, especially when Bold is used.] (3) OOoAboveListColored paragraph style - Derived from the modified OOoAboveList style. The font's Black color was modified to Light Blue. This style was used for introducing numbered lists.

The two OOoAboveList styles provide visual cues to the reader of an upcoming bulleted list or stepped procedure (using different colors for each type).

The style changes are tentative, so comment one way or another if so inclined. An attempt was made to deviate from the constant use of the bland, "vanilla" Times New Roman font throughout the chapter.

Two files were uploaded:
(1) The worksheet <http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/writer/feedback/WriterGuide/0204WG-FormattingPages_2July2006_GS.odt> listing the unimplemented changes (2) The draft <http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/writer/feedback/WriterGuide/0204WG-FormattingPages_2July2006_GS_Draft.odt>with all changes implemented
