Hi Fina,

Re the [ind#] code, you can use what number you like.

But here, try this.  I've actually added a step which technically is not 
needed, but it should effectively show you how to take an existing style you 
perhaps like, and allows you to modify it.  Otherwise you can leave out step 2 
below.

1) Go to the Document Menu, and select "Add a Style"

2) Move down the list of existing Styles to "para."

3) Tab across to "New Style name" and in that text box, type "menupara5."  
Note, no quotes, and make sure it has a period at the end.  (Actually for 
brevity, you could even call it "m5." - the five is just to indicate you want 
to start in cell 5)

4) Press Enter, and you should get a new Window/dialog which contains the 
beginning code [p] and the ending code [l] - which in effect are the para. 
style codes

5) Navigate to the Beginning code box, and delete the [p] code.

6) Press Ctrl + left square bracket and type the code "ind5" - again, no 
quotes, just i n d 5

7) Tab to OK and press enter.

If you now apply the menupara5. code to the text instead of h3. you should get 
the desired result.

If you intend doing a lot of this kind of work, I can explain how to create say 
a "menu" template, since the above will only be effective for the current 
document.
