Thanks for responding ...
yet when I click on that URL, all I see are these titles (listed
below) which mean next to nothing to me ;-)
maybe if I explain my thinking when I see this list, others too
will be helped -
[my comments in parentheses]
1 Introducing Writer [I began reading this back-when - I gave up &
started using the program; the trial-by-doing-method]
2 Setting up Writer [but since it's already installed on the machine
??? ]
3 Working with Text [grammar & typing I know]
4 Formatting Pages [but I don't want it to re-format the whole
machine]
5 Printing, Faxing, Exporting, and E-mailing [ok, I understand this
one; but have no use for LO doing these functions]
6 Introduction to Styles [I began reading this back-when - I gave up
& started using the program; the trial-by-doing-method]
7 Working with Styles [???]
8 Working with Graphics ; Working with Images [ok, I think I
understand this one; but have no use for LO doing these functions]
9 Working with Tables [ok, I understand this one; but have no use
for LO doing these functions]
10 Working with Templates [I've tried but cannot understand this]
11 Using Mail Merge [ok, I understand this one; but have no use for LO
doing these functions]
12 Tables of Contents, Indexes, and Bibliographies [ok, I understand
this one; but I know how to do these without the program's help]
13 Master Documents [???]
14 Working with Fields [???]
15 Using Forms in Writer [???]
16 Customizing Writer [???]
A Keyboard Shortcuts [but shortcuts don't simplify these machines for
me]

Writer Guide 4.2 Chapter 4 Page 35 has a very obscure, unrelated &
meaningless heading called "Page Numbering".
