------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 6 22:43:16 +0000 2007 ------- Styles, of course, is an extremely important component of OOo. But it has taken me over a year to understand how to use it. My problems, in the end, were related to my understanding of what the word "style" meant in plain language versus what it means in OOo. Therefore what I was trying to accomplish in OOo was in fact impossible. I want to name a whole set of subsidieary styles one name e.g. "Speeches". To me the word 'style' means a group or set of configurations that add up to one style (or 'style list'). To the "Speeches" style list, I would add one heading style called "Title"; one paragraph style for "First Page"; a default page style for all subsequent pages. (Perhaps one or two others as I found a need). I would like to remove all other default styles from the "Speeches" style list. I would like to save my "Speehes" style list in a Speeches template so that when I open the "Speeches" Template only the "Speehes" style would be available and would show in the dropdown icon on the format bar; replacing default and all its extra styles which would not be needed in the "Speeches" template. Not only does it seem logical to me, I spent several hours trying to make this work becasue it seemed so natural to me that that was the way it should work. None of my googling and manual reading said that it shouldn't work that way. Because I beleive that this is a normal and natural way for a writter to work, I am asking for an enhancement that would allow this kind of creation of an overall style.
