A silly question, but /exactly/ what do you mean by "save a style as a file by itself"? What are you expecting to have? What are you trying to actually achieve by having "a style as a file"? Sorry, I'm not trying to be picky, but if we understand properly what you want to achieve we might be able to help better. At present, it seems (to me) that your needs are served by the 'load styles' option. AIUI, styles exist in two places within the ODF zip document - inside the zip file there's a styles.xml component, and more styles can be defined on-the-fly as it were in the main part, content.xml. I doubt very much that you'd find just a lone styles.xml file of much use. A "template" is, basically, just the styles you want packaged up and ready to go. What can you do with a "naked" style file that can't be done with one properly clothed? :-) -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
