Hello Jean
I have just picked up my email and would like to make a comment about
templates.
Is it possible to simplify the number of styles used in the template.
For
example, the list style has three styles - start; cont; end. It would be
much better to have only two styles - List1 or Number1 for a normal list
and List2 and Number2 for a sub-list that is indented to start at the
text
for List1 or Number1.
Enjoying my holiday. Plenty of sun, swimming and beer.

The primary purpose for the Start, Cont., and End paragraph styles
associated with the individual List n or Number n paragraph styles is
to add some extra vertical space after the very last list entry,
regardless of its level (of nesting). IOW, the formatting goal is to
have only one such "End" entry in a multilevel list (with the extra
space), and that "End" style is assigned to the very last list item,
which could be at any nesting level, depending upon whatever it was
that the author wrote.
One manner of eliminating those Start, Cont., and End styles for the
individual list nesting levels would be to define the overall list
differently--as a block that applies the extra vertical space
automatically at the end of the "''blocked" list (before the next
style following the list).

Then, Gary, why do the Start and Cont. styles have the same values
in the Indent & Spaces tab? Both styles aren't needed even now.
But perhaps a more important point: use of a numbered list in a
table. A single number and a single bullet list seems to be sufficient.
While we are at it, do we really need to have three numbered
lists: decimal (1,2,3), lower-alpha (a,b,c)), and lower-roman
(i,ii,iii)? Since these are used for level 1, level 2, and level 3
respectively, seems like this could be done with one style by modifying
the Options tab. With the number of lists that I use in my writing,
deciding which style to use at a given point and at what level can
become very confusing. This seems like an unnecessary complexion.
