Hi Dan;

I am also taking the liberty of responding to you directly.  I have
visited the sites you mentioned and would like to reply to you.

I have since viewed the chapter documents.  They have some clearer
information that would have been useful.  I still think some of the
explanation could be cleaned up and broadened.  

However, the main problem was that when I went to the documentation site
I (naturally, I think) assumed that the chapters were simply a sub-set
of the whole manual and that the whole manual would be worthwhile having
rather than just 1 chapter.  I would never have thought of downloading
or using both at the same time.

I reviewed the oooauthors.org site pretty thoroughly and am very tempted
to join.  Before doing that however, I have a couple of very specific
questions about the OOoAuthors writing and review processes (about time
lines, technical reviews etc.).  Where is the best place to ask those
type of questions?  The mailing list that I perused seemed mainly
involved with actual OOo component writing processes and problems.

I have one 'Style' usage question left that I want to ask.  I will ask
it here and reproduce the same question on the general mailing list if I
may?

Is there a way to identify a limited set of styles (page, title,
headers, text body) for one type of document or template?  For example,
I want to create a 'Speech' type template with styles that shows only
the Speechpage, Speechtitle, Speechheaders, Speechtextbody styles that I
have created and does NOT show the standard, default, header1, header2
etc.  In particular, I use the styles drop down box on the formatting
tool bar a lot.  When I open my New Speech Template, I want to see only
my speech style choices in the drop down.  That would also be nice in
the styles dialogue window as well, but that is not as important to me.
Is there a way to set this up?
