Thanks You need to drasticly change your method of working, as OpenOffice is _not_ a clone of MS Office, no matter what people think. It offers much the same functionality, but this is arrived at by different methods of working. OpenOffice makes considerable use of Styles. You may find this document helpful http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started/Templates_and_Styles It may also be of use to Internet search for "using styles in OpenOffice" The consistent use of Styles requires a paradigm shift in one's method of working and it will not be in your first major project when you realise how powerful this method is. You may also ind it of use to bring specific problems to our Forum at http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
