The "Stylus" (accessed by F11) has become "Styles and Formating" in
the 1.9.x versions. While it has a different name, it can be access the
same way: use the F11 key. As GRS has written, there are several good
manuals for the 2.x listed on the following page:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html
If there is something missing in these guides, please let us know.
We will work on correcting it.
