Now you're gonna tell me why you are up at your PC at this ungodly hour
of the morning on the west of the Atlantic!  After such a horrid,
starved, busy day yesterday as well! <g>

And gulp yes to all the stuff about styles - just such a shame it takes
so long to explain when it's so quick to use!

I use them all the time - it's getting others to do so that's the
problem! ;)

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>"
