Furthermore, if you are going to use styles, perhaps a refresher
on what is possible might be a good idea. There are User's Guides
available at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/ that will
help. There are also specific chapters on styles at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/. One chapter
is part of the Getting Started Guide, and the other one is in the
Writer Guide.
