Hi Naomi, This can be done in any of the OpenOffice.org modules - Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress etc. Simply go into the Styles and Formatting window (Stylist in 1.x series) using F11 and modify the Default styles to suit your need. Save it as the default template and your away. There are some details of this in the OOo Knowledgebase and where it can be useful eg languages, cell formats etc. Regards Jonathon -- OOo Tips (RSS) - http://mindmeld.cybersite.com.au/tips.rss OOo Knowledgebase - http://mindmeld.cybersite.com.au/ Cybersite Consulting - http://www.cybersite.com.au/ Training4Linux - http://www.training4linux.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
