I like the idea by Octavio ... the core thoughts might help some people if they try to understand why this / that documents behaves that way. But - just a gut feeling - the combination of choosing and checking styles might lead to less usability for the "normal style selection". So might a detailed "Formatting Inspection" some idea (e.g. being an extension)? Here is what Microsoft did - and to quote "I don't say it is the best way, simply that there is a way." :-) http://www.officetooltips.com/word/tips/use_the_style_inspector.html Cheers, Christoph -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
