Hi Brian,
All the above is fine and thanks again.  A couple of follow up questions 
if I may pleaase ask:-

I note I can modify the First Page style but what I think I need to do 
is create a new "first page" style called say "Home Address Letter" 
style.  I don't know how the style properties for the first page are 
created but I presume I can modify the "First Page" style and save it as 
"Home Address Letter"  Is that right?  In fact I need two letter first 
pages, one for office and one for home so further help would be appreciated.

The second question concerns fonts.  I am used to having the font 
included within the style definition.  Is this possible with LO?

Grateful for further guidance when you have time.
Regards,
Budge
