>when you try to produce an envelope from within a letter doc you don't get
the address double spaced!

If you do, just hit Ctrl/A to select all the text in the envelope and hit
Ctrl/1 to change it to single spacing!

Wonder why I'm called the Queen of shortcuts!<g>

Been there, done that all too often.  With added pressure of meeting
deadlines imposed by city trading rules!

I say keep trying with Styles, and ditto to James about paragraph leading.
The only hangup with that is that you have to be consistent between
documents and templates so that - for instance - when you try to produce an
envelope from within a letter doc you don't get the address double spaced!

Persevere Carolyn - I'm sure you will find it eases your tasks in the long
run.  :)

Scenario: "You've just spent days creating this wonderful looking document,
at least you think it's wonderful. It's 150 pages.

But just as you think it's done, the boss comes in and tells you that it
looks great.but, change the main font from Times to Century Schoolbook; the
heading fonts from Arial to Century Gothic. Oh, and please get rid of those
circle bullets and make them arrow bullets. And maybe change the second
header to Italic rather than Bold. And please get rid of any underlining in
the headers!

Say, what?

It's Friday! It's 4:30 and you have plans after work and need to leave at
5:00! But this is due first thing Monday morning. So you will either have to
spend the next few hours fixing it or risk your job. You open the document
again and start going through every page, selecting the headers, paragraphs,
headings and bullets to make all the necessary changes. 
So when the boss tells me to change my 150 page document, I jump into the
styles taskpane, make a couple quick changes, update the document and pass
him back the finished version. It's 4:55 and I'm heading out the door.
You're on page 35 of your changes.

Sorry you'll miss the party tonight! <evil grin>"
