Thanx verry much for your help. I'm trying.... ... Yeah it works now (partialy). I can change the font-size so the 'updateStyle' is working. I think I have to declare the Font some more. Anyway, thanx for helping. The whole OpenDocument-thing feels like voodoo for me, especialy if it comes to tables. I'm shure it gets easier with the (your?) perl-module :-) dan
