Would like discussion on use of Normal in styles

What I appreciated most about this presentation: Great tips!! I would like to see Part II and more “short cuts” - numbering Presenter understands and shares my struggles as a desktop publisher Great showing of tips re: the available functionality in Word I liked learning how to use styles/templates. It’s very helpful to me, since I just started helping with DTP Presentation of Material – Samples well done The tricks in Word How can we improve? Would like to hear more about the actual building of a template. Other: I would like to see the template portion of the presentation; would like to see how to format around graphics
