I know I'm unfamiliar with themes and styles and I've managed to create some
new styles and even set the margins on my default document.

I did read through the article but it didn't tell me more than what I
already knew - the theory being that styles are an external set of parameters
that define how things should look and where these things are set.

I want to create a theme with three styles in it. Title, Chapter and
Paragraph. I don't need any of the other "Word 2007" style options available
to this theme.

I know I need to learn - that's why I'm asking for help. Sorry to sound a
pillock.

I apologise (again) - how can I set the body text indent to apply to one
custom paragraph style (separate from normal) ? Is this done under the
"Manage styles dialog box"? How then does this link to a paragraph style?

Many thanks.
