What do you mean by that?
OOoAuthors has written about 40 chapters for the user guide. There's a
fair chance that want you want is covered. But I'm not sure what you want.
Is styles realy the first step in understanding the OOo arrangement with
text doc's?
...it seems to me that there should be something before that ...but perhaps
that's just that I havn't read the helpfiles (pdf) yet?

As with many bundlewares the way of works is defined with your workload. For
example, yes, using Styles should and is one of the corner-stores of building
documents. However, OOo Writer has 'arguably' more diference on the Navigation
than the styles.
Indexing content on large documents sometimes result as tedious as the style
complexities that one could face when dealing with long documents.
Styles exist
in many other Office suites, but I think OOo plays a better role on
showing just
about how many styles are possible and different ways to organize them.
Saying that I usually don't really need to use styles since I already
have them
using templates. So it just make the styling a unique task when building a
master template.
For reading documents I believe the Navigation has a more important role as is
very flexible, you can order it by secctions, heading, images, forms, etc. But
also you have things like Bookmarks and Reminders that will help readers use a
non-linear approach to read such long documents.
I found this helpful when reading technical documentation like
documents for the
OOo source code.
