--- Comment #10 from Nick <[email protected]> ---
Apologies for the stupidity. In transitioning from 'MS Word' to 'Office
Writer', that being my first 'Office Writer' word processing document, I went
looking for the usual suspects in the tool bar, where the customary 'font',
'font size' and 'boldface' reside (in the 'MS Word' program that is). Later, I
located them in a sub-menu while exploring my new playground, much to my
chagrin; mucho embarrassment, as I had already sent my fool question. 

Further Clarification: When I started using an Apple 8 word processor, many
moons ago, and later, a Windows machine, I was able to purchase books and a
"For Dummies" booklet (no classes in  those days), which aided in using word
processors. Hearing that 'Office Writer' was a good replacement for greedy MS,
I took the plunge. Since there are no tutorials for 'Office Writer', and since
there where only a few pleasant but subtle changes, I assumed that since
similarities existed, everything would be intuitive. Not so; had I spent time
exploring before I shot off my big mouth, I wouldn't be apologizing now. 

But all was not lost, I did meet a nice guy by the name of Joel. Again, thanx
Joel for your kindness and patience, n.  

P.S. Did you ever figure out what "Tag" was? Filling out that form was akin to
jumping through hoops, as when filling out a rebate form for a company that
didn't want to part with the moo-la. Us old fart engineers lived or died by the
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Principal.
Designing specialized test equipment, and then writing test procedures for the
average technician to follow, makes us cringe at some of the techno-greek some
engineers spout today. I say, bring back the computer punch cards! (A sick
joke). Again, thanx for your patience and sparing me that god-awful form. If I
was that proficient in computereese, I wouldn't be requesting clarification;
the freeware needs a forum for newbies. 'Bye.
