Good luck to you, Doug. To swipe a concept from an old Apple commercial, “The
most powerful software is the one people use.” If what you’re using gets the
job done, then your question is answered: Use it. WordPerfect, Word and AOo
have learning curves; if you don’t need to invest the time on
of text (89,000+ words) and illustrations. I used a wide
number of styles in the process. It has the look that I wanted it to
have. It was basic second nature.

With OO 4.1.1 there is no money involved.

And with me, and apparently a lot of other people, learning the styles
silliness is not worthwhile.

Assigning “a” style to a document makes sense only if it’s a one-page document,
