Hi,

The stylist (aka 'style & formatting' on 2.0) window is not always visible and
is even hidden by default. This is a very severe UI issue, since most new users
won't dig into the menu to manage style and -except in Writer-, there is
virtually no way of knowing which style is used otherwise. The stylist should
always be visible, and especially be visible on first use, since new users need
the most to get feedback on what they do. (unless you want them learn the hard
way, and be trapped in the "attribute mess" by clicking toolbars
instant-attributes buttons. ;-)
(and yes, i just saw such new user who didn't realize how to change cell style
today on OOo1.1.4 ;-)

Correct behaviour: Stylist should be clearly visible by default (hint: having
stylist and navigator docked as a "side panel" makes the UI pretty clean and 
usable)

Thanks !
