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. Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
