     Yes you can: it is the same dialog that opens. I have been using F11 
to open the Styles and Formatting window since OOo 1.0.3 or before. So, it 
is no longer scary. And yes, I have made quite a few errors in that time. 
But, I just change the settings back. No big deal. I have even learned to 
dock this window on the left side of the OOo, AOO, or LO window.
     They say practice makes perfect. Well, this is not completely true. 
Practicing doing something the right way will result in remarkable progress 
though.
     If you are fairly new to LO, then I would definitely recommend your 
getting the Getting Started Guide. Spend some time in the Writer chapter 
looking for things that would help you. Practice these things in some spare 
time. And if you want more detailed information, get the Writer Guide. Then 
look at specific areas you think you might need. Time then form some more 
practice. You can do similar things with the other chapters of the Getting 
Started Guide when you have time.
     I use the Styles and Formatting window extensively changing paragraph 
and character styles as needed, sometimes several times in one line of text.
