------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 5 13:57:18 -0700 2005 ------- > So OOo should be more clever than the user -> not possible. In this case, the user has searched for italics, and so finding italics (and not "all formatting") would not require OOo to be more clever than the user, but to do what it is told, which is what programs are good at. If there is no way for OOo to distinguish between <em>not "italics"</em> and <em>"not-italics"</em>, i.e. to remove "italics" from "italics-and-bold-and underlined" without changing it to "not-italics-and-bold-and-underlined", then that really is a design limitation. You may be right that the direct benefits are limited, but in my experience (which admittedly is limited so far), the handling of the hierarchy of formatting sources: template - style - direct formatting, is flawed, and the flaw seems to be related to this issue (and issue 31638). If that is the case, a solution here will be part of a whole cleanup which will have far more wide-ranging benefits for the way the program works. I would advocate an approach more in the direction of css, where the cascading structure is clear: a parameter which is not defined for an item, will take its value from the higher-level definitions. Thus, removing "italics" from a character would not require a "not-italics" setting - the paragraph style or the template. Therefore, the issue with re-assigning a template to a document, which I complain about in the forum (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=20789) is part of the same problem, I assume. I hope I'm wrong... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
