It can import word templates. You can also do a pretty good job of it just by learning how the Style stuff works - I don't have any good links but it's a place to start researching. Styles let you apply the same, uh, style to the same elements, by name, and have cascading methods (This style turns into that style turns into style zed) which lets you easily do chapter headings, quotes, etc. Inserting a TOC is just a "Insert->indexes and tables" if I recall, and ties into the style stuff for chapter names. Headers and footers will take care of the page and chapter titling. > PS Ya I know all the wise cracks will follow as in "there is no spell > check available for you Joe" or "it's going to take a thousand proof > readers to correct your grammar Joe" or "With the way you ramble on... > do you have the terri-bite to hold that size of odf file?"
