  You can also create a template containing any special collection of
 styles you wish. Then, each time you create a document from that template
 it will have those styles assigned to it.   If you do not use a template to
 create a new document, then that new document will only have access to the
 system styles.  Any styles you create in one document will not be available
 in another document unless it is done by way of a template.

 As of yet, I don't seem to know how to associate a style with a template.


When you save as a template (Shift+F11), all your styles are saved with it.
So first modify or create your styles, then save as template. The template
will also include all your contents, so if you want to create a new
template from an existing document, you need to remove everything that you
don't want in your template. Just don't forget to undo or quit without
saving, otherwise you will lose your contents…


 
  To assign a particular style to a page,  give that page the focus, go to
 the Format menu and select Styles and Formatting.  Usually this opens a
 dialog with Paragraph styles selected, but just click on Page Styles at the
 top of the box and then double click the style you wish to assign.

 Again, not clear how I build a library of styles.

 I created an impress file today, and modified the style to change
 background  foreground color, and fontface/size. That worked nicely for me
 - thanks.  How do I make this a default for impress, or have this and one
 or a few others as options for a new impress file?


Create a template that looks like you want as a starting point whenever you
open the application (Impress in your case). Make sure all the styles you
need are there, otherwise create them.
Save the template. An easy way to do that is Shift+F11.
Now (I'm doing this in Calc, I think the procedure is the same for
Impress): File → Template → Organise… → Double click ”My templates” → Right
click the template you want to use as the default template → Define as
default template → Close.
I think there are other ways to do it as well.



 I'm used to styles in the context of CSS for websites, where a style file
 is referenced explicitly in the page file header.  That model doesn't seem
 to fit well here.

   Yes, it does. Then again,  it makes me wonder how great reveal codes are. If 
it were important to many people, shouldn't someone who used them regularly 
have kept the extension up to date? It would take some time to learn how to do 
this though.
   In this case, the person who stated that it should be part of OO should 
bite the bullet, learn how to create the extension,  and do so. Then he/she 
should keep it up to date.
   It might prove how important reveal codes really are by the number of 
downloads of this extension.

RE: OT (was Question re/ using Open Office

2015-06-27 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
Great to see you here, Julian.

I cannot claim Senior then.  My first code was written in Fortran [I, but of 
course it didn't need a version number until II arrived] in May, 1958.  It 
compiled on the IBM 704 at Boeing and failed on a divide-check.  I was a 19 
year-old Engineering Aide in the Transport Division, then in Renton, and the 
work was in wing loads analysis for the forthcoming Boeing 720.  (My first 
foray into programming was, fortunately, unrelated to that task.)

My first-computer love was the IBM 650 though.  I went from that onto a 
Remington Rand - Sperry Univac - Xerox career path, retiring from Xerox at 
the end of 1998 

I don't write assembler or much anything else (except HTML and Powerpoint) 
these days, but I can't stay away.  And I always loved open-source work, even 
before it was called that.

 Looks like we've both been around the block a time or 2 - though I'm not the 
 techie that you are. My first experience was in the early 60s. Learned to 
 write Fortran on an old Philco 2000 while working in research for an 
 aerospace division of Ford.


 I joined IBM in 1968 and although I was in sales I learned to write in 
 assembler, COBOL, ALGOL, PL1, APL, SIMSCRIPT (a simulation language), Basic 
 and on into the languages of the 90s.

I started out in the '50s on Univac I, IBM 704/709, and Honeywell machines 
[D1000; H800, H400].  Joined IBM in '62 and went to work on microprogramming 
for the 360 line.
Assembler, many machines; autocoder [1401 and 1410], APL [when I could get to a 
terminal with the right electric ball]. Retired in '93.

 Because of my experience in research I was often able to do problem 
 determination as well or better than some of the best technicians. I went to 
 work for Amdahl in WA in the early 90s and a couple of other companies after 
 that.

Worked with Gene at IBM in the '60s and again on a short consulting contract in 
the late '90s - he was still sharp then, although I've been advised that he now 
has advanced Altzheimers.

 Finally gave it up. Got tired of working for and around idiots. Went back to 
 IBM in 2000 but gave it up for good after 6 months. It was no longer the IBM 
 that I had once worked for. Just another hack company as far as I was 
 concerned.

Agree.

not reasonable at all from my point of view.

I have to edit a collection of essays once a yr. styles are

if hitting a line return changed styles, the work would be very

suppose I have a long quotation with indents and containing several

if I want to drop out of a style I either change the style (some of 
them I have tied to key combinations) or hit 'clear formatting.'


You've already told us that you do not intend to learn styles. There is no 
need to give us more proof that you don't know how to use them.



Followed by an /ad hominem response


well, wrong tone, we should be civil, but ...; well, anyway, what I'd 
like to know since I never did more elaborate than write papers in 
WordPerfect (not requiring much formatting) is how does one format 
across large documents?


suppose I decide that all paragraphs with a certain indentation should 
also be in italics; I can simply change the style for indented 
paragraphs of that sort and the change should replicate through the 
document.


what is the facility in WP for that? I think it uses some kind of 
template? law offices used to use it and they have elaborate 
requirements.


forgive me for not looking but WP people would know right away.

 The -c option is used when you have a text file that contains the md5sum
 for one or more files.  Md5sum will read that file and check the file's
 md5 sum against the line in the text file.  If you look at the md5 on
 the server, it is in the form that could be pasted into a text file.
 This means you could download several files, paste the line into a text
 file and then run md5sum -c on the text file to verify all the files
 with one command.  Some servers, such as those used for Linux, often
 have an md5sum file, which you can download.

Any Style, even built in styles, can usually be Modified.  Do this by /Format 
/Styles and Formatting.  Across the top of that window will be five icons which 
select (from left) different style families.  Leftmost is Paragraph styles, 
next Character Styles, Frame Styles, Page Styles and List Styles.  

On the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window is a dropdown to restrict the 
display of Styles - Applied is often useful, but check that All is in use until 
you get used to this.  Press the top icon for the desired Style family, right 
click on the style you wish to change, and choose Modify from the popup. Make 
whatever modifications you wish and press OK

You may find

of use
also the overall Writer guide is
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/manuals/userguide3/0200WG3-WriterGuide.pdf
There has been little significant change in Writer between v3 (that manual) and 
v4

My own experience is that fluency in use of styles is not acquired until about 
the third reasonably substantial document (i.e., not simple short letters); 
after that, one wonders how one ever managed without use of styles.  I write 
book-length texts using styles and it emerges in full book layout, needing only 
final proofing and very minor tweaking before going to print.
Since switching to Star/OpenOffice in 2007 I have prepared many booklength 
texts directly in OO, without need to use my previous setup of MS Word (or 
NotePad) and PageMaker (later InDesign).  I have never regretted the transition 
or the learning curve involved.
