I agree with Dick's plan. Thanks for volunteering to start the revisions. I will not be able to help with that during this coming week but I might be able to the following week. I looked briefly at the text near Fig. 15 where Jean noted an error. It seems the paragraph styles are used correctly in that list but the previous list slightly earlier in the document ends with the style OOo List 1 Cont instead of OOo List 1 End. Maybe that is enough to cause the problem? Francis
