Sometimes, I need to copy the formatting of a paragraph or list to a different
paragraph or list.
Of course, styles would be ideal, but it just happens that most documents do not
use styles. IF you are not the creator of the document, you can't take even the
blame for not using a style.
Also, some formatting just evolves over time, so when the need for a style
emerges, it is already too late. The user is now struck with applying all
attributes to the different paragraph or list, or create a new style from
scratch. Both options are rather poor.
I propose a different mechanism:
SOLUTION
========
1.) When the 'Nonprinting Characters'-option is selected,
Writer will display a 'P' at the end of every paragraph.
2.) The user should be able to select this 'P' and drag-and-drop it
over another paragraph / list
3.) that paragraph / list should receive the settings of the previous
paragraph.
4.) dragging-and-dropping the 'P' over the 'Styles and Formatting'-window
should create a new style (either paragraph or list, depending on
context); this new style should take the attributes of the
selected paragraph / list
