Another point on styles:
3. Keyboard shortcuts: there is a very useful feature in MSWord that
you can used a 'prefix' key combination; this greatly increase the
number of shortcut key possibilities. I used in MSW ctrl+H as my
shortcut prefix for styles, and this allows me to set up a set of
style shortcuts that are touchtypeable. Shame to lose this as I switch
to OoO.

1) Try to think of what you gain in ease of use and loss of confusion by
using OOo styles.
2) In OOo 2.0 (and the beta), styles (I think just paragraph styles) can
be assigned to shortcut keys like everything else.
HTH,
What really needs to be assignable to shortcut keys is *character*
styles. I like the concept of character styles but I find them
cumbersome to use. Compare the ease of hitting CNTL-B for bold or CNTL-U
for underline to all the double-clicking you need to do to assign (and
un-assign at the end of the word) a character style that does the same
thing.
Is it any wonder most people still use the dreaded direct formatting
(oh, the mis-informed horror!) for those things?
