Everyone learns a language by example, if you try to teach one you 
will see, even Patrick, when he was a baby learned his first language
by example (real language), it is only natural, it is only human. To
argue the contrary is just lack of experience in teaching.

    >Adding to this thread (I don't mean a reply to Paulo, but rather a reply to what 
Hans was saying earlier)...The problem with "normal users" cooking up new styles is 
the lack of artistic abilities in some people (like me).  One can, obviously go thru 
the manual cover the cover, but if one does not have creative thinking, then creating 
professional looking styles would be hard.  That is why, users like me really do not 
care if our documents look like everybody else's (just as long as they look 
professional).

to make it look slightly different is no big deal.
