Rod Engelsman wrote: Direct formatting with Wordperfect-style tokens is like typing with the Shift key. You're typing along and then you hit the Caps-lock key and that tells the machine to create upper-case letters until you release the Caps-lock and then you are creating lower-case letters again. On the other hand, Styles are like a control panel full of buttons, knobs, and switches and a particular style is just a snapshot of the position of all those controls. Every paragraph has a style associated with it and that style completely describes the formatting for that paragraph. Similarly, every character has a style as well. I appreciate your efforts trying to explain the difference - and making a comment re further ahead in the discussion, I can very well imagine e.g. a tree opening from the context menu, starting with the names of page, paragraph, character &c. styles and then branching out to the nitty gritty, as long as it shows _everything_. But from your description, I would expect the opposite behaviour of WP and OOo in this experiment: Write two lines of anything, bolden one of them (whether by defining a character style or with the button up on the menu doesn't make a difference). Now select a couple of letters from one line; push them into the other. And vice versa. Wordperfect behaves symmetrically: the new letters in the normal line are bold, and the new letters in the bold line are normal. In OOo, both end up bold, which tells me that only Bold is an attribute, and that there is simply nothing set in the normal line: not every character has the full set of attributes.

Ed wrote: Having used both methods, as in OO and WP, they both have their place. Styles are fine for the publishing industry, and corporations that need to have a fixed style in documents, letters, etc. But, for my personal use I prefer the WP method of changing the format of individual words, or sentences, on the fly. And if I have to do any editing later, the Reveal Codes option gives me complete control over my document. But, please, WP does have styles with the one drawback that they aren't available from the context menu (to make up for that, applied styles can be changed or deleted in the RC frame). WP with its ability to use characters within styles can be _more_ consistent than OOo in separating markup from content. Suppose you quote a book title, which should be italic. You botch up a style that applies italics and call it booktitle. Then you have an essay title. In WP, you can define a style that applies quotes on both sides of the marked text, and that style might be called essaytitle. In OOo you will type in the quotes directly, and you end up with a "meaningful" style for book titles, but not for essays. How is that for logic? Now suppose someone switches from OOo to WP and wants to erase such an essay title. They will find that the "quote characters" cannot be deleted. Before getting a new keyboard, they can call up the RC frame and see that there is a style left, and that that style's content are two quote signs. Problem solved (and knowledge gained). The same may apply using OOo. Suppose the right hand side of your page appears to be unused. Did someone change the margins or is this a two column layout that just doesn't have enough text to overflow, or the text is protected? Instead of wrecking my brain for the different possibilities, I'd rather have one place where I can check what is the matter. klaus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A surprisingly large part of this discussion has been chasing the red herring of "styles are better than Reveal Codes".

[users] Tricks with frames
Hello, I should admit first that I am trying to do stuff I didn't have to do for a long time, and it was WordPerfect 6 for DOS that shaped my way of thinking. Since I have no idea if this program works on WinXP, or if the diskettes are at all readable any more, I assume I really have to do it in OOo. And this is it: I want an A3 sheet (landscape) folded into 8 A6 pages (portrait, but ...). On one side of the sheet, three of them have an upside-down orientation, and the fourth in that same row is sideways. With Wordperfect, I would have set a page size independent of the paper size and put the four funny pages into frames which could then be rotated. In OOo, I thought it best to define a page template with 2x4 frames on it. I filled some of them with content, which doesn't overflow into other frames. Now I 1. can't shift-click to get on another page (the other side of the sheet) 2. can set different orientations for a frame, but upside down is not among them. Am I really stuck? klaus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
