Regarding the chapter template please note that I was told by Gary (a "senior" member of OOoAuthors) that I have made a mistake, namely I linked the OOoHeading style to the OOoTextBody style. I did it because I wanted to be able to change the baseline font just in one place (OOoTextBody) and make the change ripple across all the styles used. Gary however told me that this is not what I should have done and therefore I plan to amend this mistake some time soon. Also, I will correct a slight imperfection in the numbered paragraph styles that are used in the tables. I discovered that when writing in a table OOo automatically adds the table padding to the margin and therefore the second line of a numbered item gets slightly misaligned with the first line. Finally, as we moved to a template optimized for screen reading I am tempted to make more use of colours, for example, instead of making a menu path bold (e.g. File > Save As) I am considering making it blue. Luckily, thanks to the heavy use of character styles this will only require a couple of clicks.. ahh... the power of styles :-) Cheers, Michele
