Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?

Hi :)
Nothing beats personal targetted advice from an expert!   Thanks Dan! :)   The Styles chapter 
scared me too so my RTFM answer was particularly bad, on at least 2 counts.  

However when i did eventually get around to reading it i found it enourmously useful and deeply 
regret not having read it earlier as it would have saved me hours of work and would have pushed me 
into using LO sooner (again saving me hours of struggling with MSO's lack of finesse with images).

Thanks and regards form
Tom :)
