My thanks to Gary for showing a newbie, by example, how to do it.
Working with Text - WG Chapter 3 <http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/writer/feedback/0203WG-WorkingwithText_15Dec06_JHW_TJ_GS.odt/file_view?portal_status_message=File%20changes%20saved.> (snip)
There is a string of problems associated with the capitalization change of the tip feature, from "TIP" to "Tip". 1) The source of the problem is the chapter template, which shows "TIP" in the "things to be copied" section. This needs changing. The "Template How-to" should reflect this change, as well. 2) The recommended procedure is to copy these examples into the AutoText mechanism. That means that current authors must be warned to re-copy the corrected examples. 3) The bold formatting in the template (for tip, note, and caution) is locally applied. This is probably a bad example for our authors. The OOoStrongEmphasis style can't be used, because of the different font specifications. I suggest that we need another character style for this. (What we actually need is an option to "use existing font" on the Font page of the Character Style dialog, so that the style only applies the font effect; but that's a code matter.) If we decide to change "TIP" to "Tip", I will include that in my on-going proof-reading of the published chapters. /tj -- TJFrazier
