[Eventually (probably when hell freezes over), I'll put together a new template for general OOoAuthors use.]

As threatened earlier, I finally modified the chapter template so that the Note/Tip/Caution tables won't break across pages any longer. [Its breaking only rarely happens anyway, but it was an unnecessary nuisance and potential time bomb.]

Also the Default paragraph style was modified from 12pt to 11pt TNR and some dependencies were linked to the Default style: OOoTextBody and OOoTableText. Also the OOoComputerCode (our character style for monospaced text) was changed from the Courier to Courier New. If that's a problem for somebody, let me know. Courier is not a standard MS Windows typeface (probably a Mac O/S typeface?). I don't have Courier...

Some further style dependencies were linked to OOoTextBody. So if you now desire to modify the basic typeface for some reason, do it via the Default style to save yourself some time.

OOoTextBody had its text flow set for 2/2 widow/orphan control instead of having the entire paragraph on a page w/o breaking. This may cut down the page count a bit.

If anybody wants any further style changes or reverting back to the former (or other styles created or deleted), let me know...

ToDo list: Set up paragraph and list styles for the bulleted and numbered lists so that those (nested, even) lists won't require any manual overrides for formatting indents, vertical spacing, etc.

[add any of wants/suggestions here...]
