------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 13 09:51:13 +0000 2008 ------- On the first page of Writer Help (Application Help) is a link to "Instructions for Using StarOffice Writer". On that page, under the heading "Using Styles, Numbering Pages, Using Fields" is a link "Undoing Direct Formatting for a Document". That leads to a page which says this: http://documentation.openoffice.org/online_help/htmlhelp/text/shared/guide/undo_ formatting.html Quotes: "You can undo all formatting that has not been made by styles in a few steps." "If you format a document without Styles, it is referred to as "direct" formatting." "You can remove direct formatting from your document by selecting the entire text with the shortcut keys Command Ctrl+A and then choosing Format - Default Formatting." Converting someone else's ODT or DOC to pure styles should be that simple. However tangled the specifications have got themselves, the actual intended behaviour is quite clear. Please reconsider target - considering Writer's developing reputation as a styles based word processor, having to manually re-apply potentially hundreds, or even thousands of character stylings, is a severe limitation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
