When I first started using OpenOffice.org well over a decade ago, I sat down and figured all the types of short documents I did, and developed templates for them them. Some years ago, I imported them to ODF, and I am still using them today. Whenever I use those templates, I never have to think about formatting except occasionally to change styles. Often, I don't even have to do that, because of the Next field automatically changes styles for me. The time I save on each document is small, but over the years I must have saved days' worth of work -- and all because I took a little extra time once, years ago, to learn about styles. So even if you're only doing short, one-off documents, styles can save you time and effort. -- Bruce Byfield 604-421-7189 (on Pacific time) blog: https://brucebyfield.wordpress.com website: http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield/ ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
