Thanks for the article. Lots of good information.

Would you be able to comment on keyboard shortcuts, especially when applying styles? With FrameMaker, once you know the right buttons to press, applying styles is fast and mouse-free. When I played with OOo, I could not find an equivalent method. The Stylist does not seem to lend itself to efficient keyboard navigation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And do you have any opinions on OOo vs. Stuctured FM?
