Here I am again with some of my draft ideas about Writer ;) Linked styles are one of those features that makes Writer Really Great: to set up a chain of styles that inherits some characteristics from a "parent" style helps a lot when you build a complex document. But this feature, in the way it is implemented now have one flaw: it is not possible, when editing a style, to tell apart which characteristic is inherited from the parent style and which is unique from the style considered. Only the font size shows the dependency through a percentage, but even then if you set a 100 % this percentage will be "translated" to the actual point size and you will lost any visual reference that the size is determined by the parent style. I think it would be great to have a sort of check box (or maybe just an option on the list) to clearly state that the selected feature comes from the parent style, something like the very rough mock-up here: https://sites.google.com/site/rgbmldcwriterideas/parent-style.png What do you think?
