Hi all and brinzing,

Hi there!


When checking issue 99904,
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99904
I occured the key word "soft formatted", then I don't know what the meaning is 
in this issue, so pls tell me the meanings of this key word, or tell me how I can do to 
make soft formatted, if you know it clearly.


The term soft-formatting is used when you work with styles in contrary
to hard-formatting where you just select eg. the "bold"-icon from the
toolbar for a piece text.

For example if in writer the users selects a portion of text with the
mouse and than use the toolbar icon for making that text bold and than
selects a font from the font listbox in the toolbar thats hard
formatting.

On the other hand the user may use the "Styles and Formatting" Icon in
the toolbar to define a Style named "MyFancyBoldStyle" and use that to
format some paragraph. That´s soft-formatting.

Soft-formatting is available in writer, calc, draw and impresss.

The same concept to what I just said about paragraphs in writer does
apply to graphical elements in draw or impress or on cells in calc.

The following links might introduce you to the concept of soft-formatting:
