Life is to short to torment yourself over a word processor, so enough of the woe is me already.
I still think you need to grasp the concept of styles first, before you proceed. http://www.google.com/search?q=openoffice.org+styles+tutorial Try this one: http://www.pcc-services.com/tutorials/OOo/basic_styles/page1.html In case you are wondering, i am a tutor, not a handyman. If you want a handyman look next door. Or post a sample file to the internet so that someone here can tell you how to modify the existing endnote style document wide.
