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.

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. > More particularly, > have you considered what is contained in the chapters contained in > these manuals?

[big snip] 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? -- Regards Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
