This is nifty, thanks, however for some reason I cannot save my new
style apropriately and there fore cannot find under function. 

I created the style by choosing styles and formating clicking characters
styles, right mouse click new:

    -  chose a font and a name (I link it with default style, not sure
       whether this is appropriate). 

then when I click again on the style list I can see the new
style. However when I close and reopen OO, the new style has
disappeared.

What is my mistake?

thanks
