I have a 250-page Word document (Office 2000 version) that was written by somebody who no longer works for the company. I want to begin maintaining that doc (first of many) in OOo 2.1.
The Word document does have styles applied - they're just not the same styles (by name) as the ones in our OOo template. How can I smoothly import with the least re-work? I thought I'd heard that importing of Word docs worked better if the styles in both Word and OOo had matching names. But I can't seem to rename the styles in Word. Tools > Templates and Add-ins... gives an option to rename styles, but apparently that's not really what happens. Instead, you get "old-name, new-name", which seems to be some sort of aliasing for styles.... not actual renaming. I don't want to get into re-naming OOo styles, since we have a company naming standard that would break. Is there a nifty little HowTo, or some explicit search terms that I should be using in the archives? I tried the "OpenOffice.org Writer Guide", but apparently my task is not basic enough to be covered.
