Michael, I begin by observing that, while you have dropped many intriguing hints, you are way ahead 
of me, so I hope you will excuse a couple of novice questions.  Like you, I tried working from the 
dialogs (the user view of the style definition), but you were already a step ahead: to what spec 
were you mapping? Where do you find it?

Great tip, but [sorry, novice question again] where are these .fodt files?

By "actual xml", you mean the document file? If so, wouldn't the page definition naturally be there?


I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction,
