Hi :) Thanks! :)) In LibreOffice "styles" become really useful. They use a very different system from the styles in MS Office which i always found created tons of problems and never solved anything.
I found that just a few minutes of reading up about them saved me hours of work collating articles from different sources and fitting them neatly into my company's (well, my bosses company) newsletter. What used to take the previous chap a couple of weeks with MS Office (and took me about the same) now takes a couple of days at most and i can do other things at the same time too. I've got a feeling that if i used LibreOffice for the content and then moved it into Scribus for the weird bits of the layout then it'd probably take just 1 afternoon. The better implementation of styles in LibreOffice is partly why documents produced by LibreOffice tend to look so much better than ones produced in MS Office. Numbered lists don't have extra numbers or missing ones. Bulleted lists keep the same-sized bullets. Both stay lined-up under each other. Much less struggling against sudden weird changes in formatting.
