1. You have to define the styles first. Not only that requires more than 5 clicks, but some knowledge. This raises more entry barriers for new
Setup your default style sheet with a set of styles for each language you use. When you upgrade OOo, take the default style sheet with you. [This is how I got roughly 5K styles in my default style sheet.][It might be faster if the styles table could be hand edited That way one could simply do a search/replace for each language that one uses.]

Furthermore,OOo can not compensate for the defective and flawed security measures used by Microsoft. As such, before using this product for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed, defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
