Glad to be of help.
As someone else noted, there is a more updated Typography Toolbar at the LO
extension website. The link I previously gave was to an older version.
The newer version can be found at:

LO and Linux Libertine G have really gelled nicely together.

extensions are separated by the ampersand (&). It can be a little

... this really neat tool! Many, many thanks for bringing it to my
attention, Virgil. (I stayed up way too late last night experimenting
with it!)
I think this tool should be built into LO. It is a lot more useful
than some of the extensions which are already automatically included.
