Thanks again, TI, that worked a treat. This is what I did - there may be an easier way, in which case I'd like to hear about it. I created a template called Chapter-template. In that I have two Paragraph Styles called respectively Chapter-header and Chapter-default. Chapter-header has the word Chapter as a heading, for which I have configured the Text Flow tab in the Break area with a Page Break, as above, but with Chapter-default as the Page Style associated with the Break. Chapter-default has First Line Indentation of 1.25 cm (about 0.5 inch or 6 characters) and double spacing. Both Chapter-header and Chapter-default have Courier 12 pt as the font. I tested this by copying the content of Chapter 2 into a document created from the template and inserting the new document into the Master Document instead of the original Chapter 2, reloaded the MD and lo and behold, I have a page break before Chapter 2. Only problem - is there an easy way to convert chapters 3-50 easily to my new template? :( And now, a quarter of an hour later, I have created a new test MD, which incorporates a Book-first-page style followed by a Book-default style and I insert into that a Titlepage template and then my new Chapter-template. The difference between Book-first-page and Book-default is that Book-default has a header in which I can insert the traditional Author/Title at the left end and Page Number at the right end. //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
