     Time: let me see ... Chapter 3 is all of 24 pages long. One the top 
of the second page (Copyright page) is the style you seem to be wanting. 
Using the F11 key to open the Styles and Formatting window and change 
Automatic to All Styles at the bottom of it. Then click the Copyright 
heading. OOoHeading 1 will be highlighter. Right click it and select Modify 
from the context menu. You now have in front of you a dialog containing all 
the properties contained in the OOoHeading 1. You have 12 tabs with these 
properties.
     Now how much time would this take? Not nearly as much time as 
"reading the whole document for this".
     I do have one advantage over you. I write some of the documents for 
LO. So, I have taken the time to learn how to do things using styles. I 
have a copy of the Complete Writer Guide which I use as a reference once in 
a while. I also look at the properties of a style once in a while to see 
what they are. I then put this knowledge to work for me. I now have my own 
personal outline numbering styles based upon the works of others.
     If you are going to be using Writer extensively, you might want to 
get the Writer Guide as well. It is a good reference "book". Control+H will 
help you search for specifics so you don't have to read "the whole 
document" for any particular question.
