------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 1 01:07:29 -0800 2005 ------- OO.o writer has enlarged the scope of styles by categorising styles to 'Character', 'Paragraph', Frame, Page, List Numbering etc. But the present Stylist [renamed lately as Styles & Formatting] has some serious drawbacks. I would request for a new 'Styles and Formatting' dialog which could be invoked from the Format Menu in addition to the stylist. This means retaining the old 'Stylist' for easier application of styles and doing the 'ADvanced Settings /Modifications' from the "styles and formatting' dialog. This would be much similar to the current 'Modfiy style dialog' [which can be called by the 'modify' option of the style in the Stylist] with a pane added to its left side. I would suggest the following setup for the dialog: The present classifications of styles is fine. What we need is to provide the classifications and option to choose the style from this dialog itself, rather than going back to the 'Stylist'. So this would function as a place where the user can choose any style, modify/delete, [whatever], to the styles, and also apply them to the selection/para/page if he want/if the context allows. For specific styles give options to 'Modify', 'Delete', 'Create New..[based on the selected style]' the style at the bottom of the dialog. The modification/setting up of styles could be arranged into tabs - Character, Paragraph, Borders, Numbering, etc. as is done at present. It would also be useful if an 'Apply' and an 'Update Style in default template' option is added to this dialog. This will mean that any modification done by the user without this option will be document specific and will not be carried on to the Default setup. And this would be easier also rather than going all the way to picking the template and updating the style. And finally allow this 'Styles & formatting Dialog' to be called from the Format menu instead of the Stylist or add this option to the menu. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
