Gentlemen,
I really like the Open Office Beta.
I do have a couple of questions.
Is there a "bullets and numbering" option in Writer to manually
control
the size and type of font for the numbers. My numbers don't
always end up
the same size as the adjacent text when I prepare a list. In
Impress, when
I copy text from Writer to Impress, the text size remains the
same (as in
Writer) and doesn't transfer to the size of the Impress
template. Is this
change pending or am I doing something wrong? In Impress, when
creating a
bullet item using a template, if I "tab" to the right (using the
icon) the
bullet type does not change and the text size doesn't become
slightly
smaller as in PowerPoint. Will this adaptation be made in the final
version or am I doing something wrong? Keep up the good work!
Numbering (as much of the formatting in OpenOffice.org) is
controlled thru "Styles". There is a good document on Styles
available from http://documentation.openoffice.org.
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only
I don't see anything dealing specifically with Styles. Would it be
possible to give a more specific reference please?

I guess it is a real stretch for some to think of looking under
"User Guides."

Doug,
I was suggesting that:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0113GS-WorkingWithStyles.pdf
would have been a more helpful response. Even that doesn't appear to
answer the specific questions Eddy asked.
That document is good as a HowTo. It doesn't give a good picture of
the hierarchy of styles and of the inheritance rules, from a template
or from local styles. Some sort of overview is needed to make it
clear how direct formatting fits in with styles.

I knew exactly what you meant. Obviously, I was too obscure about
making my point, which is that people who are so intellectually lazy
that they cannot even drill down through a couple of web pages to try
to find a bit of information are wasting everyone's time.
That's a fair point but I assumed the likelihood that Eddy is new to OOo.
Plus, there is always the possibility they might encounter something
along the way they hadn't yet asked about. Of course, that entails
having a mind open to discovery rather than behaving like a word
search program.
Doug
Yes, we learn that over time. It seems that the link I gave doesn't
answer Eddy's specific questions. Is there someone out there who knows
the answers his questions?
Colin W.
