You can over-simplify things to the point where they're no use, or just plain wrong. Open a new document F11 Standard 4th icon Right click Standard Modify Enable footer OK There is no "Standard" in the dialogue when I press the F11 key. And your recipe doesn't say, "Press F11 to bring up the 'style and formatting list.'" Which means I can't do the same thing some other way (e.g. find the same option in a menu), intuitively, because I don't know why I'm pressing F11. I can only follow a set of rules that might not be applicable. And since I see no "standard" in that dialogue, I wonder whether you're instructions are completely wrong, and I shouldn't be pressing F11. I'll presume that I should click on the fourth icon, but you don't say, and you haven't mentioned that the fourth icon is for *page* styling. And, again, there's no "standard" anywhere to be seen in that list. I really don't know what you're trying to do with your instructions, as they don't work on the version of OpenOffice.org that comes with Fedora 11, as you've written them. -- The gates in my computer are AND, OR and NOT; they are not Bill. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
