Apache OpenOffice is style based so using styles will definitely help you in the long run. As far as I can tell, styles is probably the first thing you should learn properly. How to create them, apply them and so on. Templates are, in my opinion, also important to learn. Someone else already replied to the rest of your questions so I'll leave it with that… Johnny Rosenberg
