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
Linking the OOoHeading style in the current OOoAuthors chapter template
simply introduces an undesired aftereffect (cropping off the tops of the
OOoHeading 1 through OOoHeading 3 styles for anybody who opts to use our
template and then utilizes something other than single-line leading for
the OOoTextBody style--something that an editor might opt to use for
leading changes, not an uncommon thing to do, on occasion.
A possible workaround would be to use the Default (or create an
OOoDefault) paragraph style for linking ***both*** the OOoTextBody and
OOoHeading styles. But don't link the OOoHeading style directly via the
OOoTextBody style, for the reason previously mentioned.
