Just ran across it recently. I've skimmed the whole thing but haven't
had the time to read it in detail and apply the knowledge (I'm a tax
professional, but the season doesn't end exactly on 15 April!). Hope to
find some time soon to devote to it.

I'll admit to not using styles, but not so much because I don't want
to. I've been using the various word processing programs since PCs
were first produced, before the concept of styles. They came out
shortly after, of course, but they got little or no attention in the
limited technical press that I followed at the time. By the time
they were in widespread use, I was pretty well entrenched in my ways.
I've tried reading the documentation on them, but (a) I never have
the time to sit down and actually learn them and (b) the
documentation isn't all it could be -- this goes for MS as well as
OO/LO. The biggest problem I've had, and I still don't know the
answer, is how to actually save the styles so they're available for
any document. I don't like any of the defaults, but don't see the
point of creating a style that is usable only in one document, so I
just do all the hard-formatting I need (which may take up more disk
space, but it's also a lot more flexible as far as I can tell).
I'm slowly catching on, but it's going to be a while.
Have you read chapter 3, Using Styles and Templates, of the
Getting Started Guide? It was written using a template containing all
the styles that were needed. I use the same template to write several
chapters of the Base Guide. It also contains what I need even though
the topics are vastly different.
