Hi Cathy, Valerii just beat me to it in recommending Bruce Byfield's publication. IMNSHO it is by far and away one of the best and well constructed sources of information about using styles in LibreOffice. Plus, Bruce is a very approachable and helpful guy, who I am sure would be willing to offer advice if you wanted to tackle this project. I am fully committed to finishing reviews of the GS6.0 guide, otherwise I would be happy to work on this with you.
