off-list :) Re: [libreoffice-users] formatting

Hi :)
Brilliant!!  It's rare to see someone put that effort in to finding out and helping other people.  
Obviously there are a few people (such as Dan, Brian, Alex, Jay, Regina, hmmm, quite a few) and 
it's good to see someone possibly joining their ranks :)
Nicely done!
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)

Turns out it was Dan.  Sorry about that Dan (and Brian)!  I trust you don't mind if I repost your 
explanation of how to use templates?

Anne - Perhaps you'll be able to adapt it to your situation. There's some help in the help file - 
use "defaults;fonts" as your search string.  If that's not enough, maybe Dan (or anyone else) can 
help you.  Or, I could be wrong about the solution.
