Thanks Doug for a very clear and complete description of how to create a new "Graphics Styles" element. But I was asking about creating "Presentation Styles". Can you explain that one with as much detail?

As well you should. Perhaps I can help. ;-} *********************************************************************** **************************** NOTICE: ******************************* The following post contains mild sarcasm intended for mature audiences. If you can be or want to be easily offended, please stop reading now. *********************************************************************** I can only confirm the following in OOo 1.1.4 and 1.9.71 Assuming those of you struggling with this topic have figured out how to open the Stylist, using OOo 1.1.4 at the very top you will see one of two possible titles: "Graphics Styles" or "Presentation Styles". If you see "Presentatation Styles" then (1) you have *_not_* followed instructions to "Select the icon on the left of bar", and (2) you need a refresher course about the meanings of Left and Right, or (3) your dyslexia has not been properly diagnosed. Using OOo 1.9.71, there is only one title, "Styles and Formatting," which reduces the number of cues that you're straying so you will have to be extra careful about selecting the correct icon. Ensure that the combo box at the bottom of the Stylist window is showing "All Styles". If it doesn't, then make that selection. If you have selected the correct icon at the top, then the first entry in the list in the Main box of the Stylist will be "Default" and the last will be "Title2". (I know this is true because you haven't been able to get far enough to create any custom styles.) Place your mouse cursor over any one of these list items. Press and release the RIGHT mouse button, or see (2) or (3) above. You will now see a context menu that contains the entries "New..." and "Modify..." If you do not release the mouse button, nothing will be displayed, so you must follow the instructions. Lastly, if you place the mouse cursor anywhere in the blank area *below* the list of styles and right click, the context menu will contain only one choice - "New..." Your mileage shouldn't vary, Doug --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
