Hi Dan,
Thank you! To answer your questions: * Level of experience with LibreOffice: None, but excited to learn * Knowledge of styles: To confirm, you are referring to formatting styles e.g. heading styles, numbering styles? I am comfortable with using them in MS Word documents to make them more navigable and easier to read, and in MS PowerPoint to apply a consistent design across slides (colour and font theme, Slide Master). * Operating system: Windows Thank you for pointing me to the Writer Guide and highlighting that styles are important. I will read up on it.

Others will give you the guidance that you need. What I would like to know is what is your experience level in using LibreOffice. What is your knowledge of styles in a text document? What operating system does your computer use? These are some basic background questions that is helpful for us to know. Personal example: I began nearly 20 years ago with little knowledge about the program. I had a lot to learn, but I did. Learning to use styles is very important for our work so I read the chapters on styles in the Writer Guide, learning and applying them as I went. It is gratifying work. You can also.
