Character Styles. Create one for Red Suites and one for Black Suites. Write your document using your usual character style. When finished, write a macro that searches for each heart, and applies the Red Suite character style to it, then change that macro so search for each diamond, to apply the Red Suite character style to it. Then modify it to search for each spade, and apply the Black Suite character style to it, then change it to search for each club, applying the Black Suite character style. > Secondary question: Is there any such thing as a 'reveal codes' option If you modify the formatting toolbar appropriately, the formatting changes are displayed there, as one moves through the document. That is about as close to usable Reveal Codes functionality as you'll find for AOo. jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
