No, you can indeed not create screen writing templates with styles alone. To give you an idea of how script writing works - there are certain elements like a "Scene Heading" with a certain indentation, all typed in Upper case. Then there are scene actions, with a different indentation, typed in lower case. Character names before dialogue are always centralised and capitalised; the dialogue following it has yet again a different indentation and is again in lower case... In script maker each of these can be achieved with a simple shortcut, such as Ctrl>N to capitalise a character name and put it in the right place on the page; Ctrl > H for Scene heading etc. It is these commands that don't all work in OO.
I've just had a tinker with styles so that when you apply them they: - turn lower case to all caps (and visa versa) - indent to what ever spacing you want - align to center, left, right You can assign style changes using a macro, then assign keyboard shortcuts to the macro's. Now I'm not saying that it won't be without a little work, but unless the 'pagination' thing mentioned earlier, is more tricky, OOo _should_ be able to cope. /paul -- Vista is "dramatically more secure than any other operating system released" Bill Gates Huh ??
