Howdy, I hope I have a work flow problem. I'll describe what I want, then describe what I did. And hopefully someone can show me 'the right way'.
I'm writing a book. I have chosen the path of creating a chapter template + a master document + a sub document per chapter. Getting it all setup at first worked out just like the "Writers Guide chapter 13" said. Thanks doc team. That was good. But a week or so later, after I'm working on chapter three, I decide I want something new in my template.... I want my font changed from liberation serif to new times roman. I cannot find out how to (simply) get that change communicated to *all* my sub documents so that they obey the new font. Here is the work flow I tried: 1. create a template create a paragraph style: name=bookBasic, properties=some indentation + liberation serif + font size 12 + regular create a paragraph style: name=indirect, properties=some indentation + liberation serif + font size 12 + italic save as "a template" in ott 2. create chapters open the template from step 1 drop in some filler text from http://www.blindtextgenerator.com/lorem-ipsum set paragraph one to "bookBasic" set paragraph two to "indirect" save as "chapt 1" in odt save as "chapt 2" in odt save as "chapt 3" in odt 3. create master doc open template from step 1 delete text file:send:create master doc navigator:insert:file (chapt 1) navigator:insert:file (chapt 2) navigator:insert:file (chapt 3) save as "a master" in odm 4. alter template open template from step 1 select paragraph formatting name=bookBasic and 'modify' such that font is changed from Liberation serif to New Time Roman save (odt) 5. open master and accept changes save (odd) 6. see if things are ok in a sub doc open chapt1 <<<problem>>> the BookBasic font is still Liberation Serif, not New Times Roman What it "the right way" to get my sub docs modified? Also, I want to add new styles to my template and have them ripple through my master doc into my sub docs. This also seems non-working to me with a pretty similar work flow to the above. Sure hoping for some help here.
