that the creators of those MSO files did not used styles was very likely since the beginning of this thread and seems almost certain now. > then expecting OOo to recognize non-existing styles, is akin to > expecting polar bears to give birth to tigers. my point was that in these conditions, or in any other real world giving suggestions to use styles or expecting that such suggestions have any relevance or usefulness is more or less the same thing. Of course, the suggestion to use styles is an excellent one, regardless of whether MSO or OOo are used: but it is fully applicable only by users who start from scratch and must never exchange/co-edit their new files with third parties who couldn't care less of styles, which is not the case of this thread. This is what I meant. This story is an excellent _example_ of "why everybody should always use styles in MSO and / or OOo", but little or nothing of the suggestions given so far is actually practicable by the OP.
