Thank you Barbara and Cour. I have a stubborn learning style -- I'm  
stubborn. I just won't get it until I have found it in LibreWriter  
Help (F1). From your positive declarations, I know for sure it is  
there, and your assistance proves it will work. But I haven't yet  
found headings and places I consider obvious, like under "decimal" or  
"alignment." I'm making LibreOffice my new home, and I will soon  
figure it out with your assistance and a bit more of your patience.
