Dear all,
Thanks to the input from Ian, I managed to reuse the styles as follows
As the method of ODFDocument.loadTemplate () is protected and it takes
Resources Object, I had to write a special class to inherit from
OdtTextDocument to create a new method called loadTemplate and takes
InputStream
This is worked fine for me when applying it to "Heading 1" and other
Headings.

insertDocument(newDocument, "");
} catch (Exception exception) {

}
}
The question now, where can I add this code so it will be available for
every body as a sample code? Is there some community other than this
mailing list?
I have a long list of other questions, is there some repository for the
questions to review before I submit these questions here?
Thanks & Best Regards / السلام عليكم

Hi Ahmed,
have you tried the loadTemplate function of the ODFDocument class in the
ODFDom?
Then look at the the setStyleName function of a Paragraph.
So if you create a document from your template then get/created paragraphs
call the setStyleName if "Heading1" and save.
Then open the document is OpenOffice and see that it looks like you
expect?
Good luck.
