------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 4 04:13:18 +0000 2007 ------- Ok, I have to rant here. I found that the P's were the automatically created styles for when I underlined or made bold the existing default style. Somehow, OO has decided to rename almost all of my headings into a automatically-created style -> NOTE: I did NOT do this. Anyhow, onto my rant... All of a sudden, it screwed up the order of my sections & subsections - it just decided to start at 1.1 in between 3.4 and 3.5 - ugghhh. It all has to do with the "automatically creating styles" that MS does and it sucks. If I am using the "default" style and want to make it bold instead of regular it goes and creates a whole new style called something like "P_X" which is the same thing that word does. If you then decide to bold and underline another style is created. If you decide to just underline, another new style. Change the font size, another style for each separate font size and God-forbid you decide to bolt,underline, or italicize any of them - you can see how this creates a mess. In this day and age, with computer programs doing so much, you'd think it would be easy to create a program that just says "hey, I'm a bold version of the default" and only carry the "bold" style in combination with a pointer to the "default" style to reduce all of the extra space required by keeping multiple copies for every little change. I thought the whole point of CSS and XML was the ability to cross-reference styles. It makes no sense (and admittedly, there might be a very good reason for doing it this way) but WHY WHY WHY create an automatically created style for every little change. If the only difference to a default style is a bold, underline, italicize, or font size - does a whole new style really need to be created? Why not just carry along the changes???? Honestly, this is one reason that I STOPPED using MS WORD 2003, it got to be _ridiculous_ with the number of styles that one had to keep track of. The only difference, as I see it with OO, is that OO hides it in the content.xml file so the user can't see it. Ok, problem identified. Solution still a mystery. Who do we talk to about fixing the problem as it stands and who do we talk to about making a more permanent change (if it is desired) so that new styles aren't created unless a significant change is made. Surely, this is a waste of space and also problematic - as I've proven ;-) In other words, I know from CSS that I can create a style sheet and leave everything alone using the default settings but if I want to make a change for a particular new paragraph then I just _reference_ the default style and make whatever minor change at that paragraph and then end the change afterwards so that the next paragraph goes back to the original style. anyhow, I'm exhausted and not looking forward to the hours it will take to fix things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
