I live in New Zealand and have never ventured forth beyond the Cook Islands. We do have SeniorNet here but they insist on teaching Microsoft Word and will not introduce styles until the end of the Word Processing cycle. Though styles are used by Word they are seen as a low priority issue by people that want to get words on paper without the knowledge of how to do this best. > Both the sites you suggested use endless jargon words without any > attempt to translate them. The nature of the internet is it is the best source of information for somputer questions. Try "define:XYZ" in Google (with any jargon word replacing "XYZ") and you will get a definition. > My despair arises both from the particular messes into which I've been > led by OO, Honestly, i would say you have been led up the garden path by learning the soft options and using your computer as a typewriter with fancy font effects. > but more generally because I've been word processing for 25 years & > have constantly tried to learn, but now find my grasp slipping ever > faster away, as it becomes the field of technical experts. Word Processing proper insists on a knowledge of styles. You have never learned styles, ergo you have never learned word processing. > But anyway I will tomorrow try your suggestion of posting a sample > file > & asking for help that way.
