_Back on topic_ Either you insert (type/paste/import) character content (including tab stops) into pre-formatted paragraphs or you insert character content and apply your own paragraph styles aftwerwards (including tab stop positions for the right presentation). Content and presentation are two separated things. _Off topic_ For 99% of all *my* formatting and grouping the built-in styles are just fine. Whether I start with my own Writer template or compile something from scratch is not that important. In both cases I use styles that are already there and if I modify any styles this is a much easier process than doing all the formatting within the document. In rare cases the outcome is a new template for a new type of document with modified styles and few user-defined ones. But I am not particularly picky with all this. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
