Thanks for the update. There is still something I do not understand on point 2: what is the benefit in linking the OOoTextBody and OOoHeading styles to the default style rather than making them two separate top-level styles? Also, I have noticed a problem with the size of the headings (partly my fault). All the OOoHeading X styles are children of OOoHeading and their size was calculated according to this table: OOoHeading 1: 100% of OOoHeading (21pt) OOoHeading 2: 85% of OOoHeading (17.85pt) OOoHeading3: 75% of OOoHeading (15.75pt) OOoHeading4: Fixed at 14pt (should have been 67%, but since we hardly ever use Heading 4 I just ignored it). Now, in the old template the size of OOoHeading was linked to OOoTextBody and in particular it was 150% (that is 21pt since OOoTextBody was set to size 14pt), however now the size of OOoHeading is linked to the size of the default paragraph, so instead of 21 it is 18 making all the headings smaller. The problems in the new template are: 1. OOoHeading is 150% of Default (that is 150% of 12pt = 18pt) . As a consequence OOoHeadings 1, 2 and 3 are smaller than what they should be 2. the size of OOoHeading 1, rather than 100% of OOoHeading is fixed to 21. 3. The size of OOoHeading4 is fixed to 14 The simple solution is to set the size of OOoHeading to 21 rather than a percentage of default and correct then the sizes of OOoHeading 1 (100%) and OOoHeading 4 (67%). If you want I can make these changes very quickly and upload a revised version. Regards, Michele Then OOoHeading 1 for some reason has been changed to a fixed size of 21 pt. OOoHeading 2 is still 85% The descendants of OOoHeading had the following size In the old template the size was calculated on the basis of OOoTextBody, which was on turn set to 14pt.
