i've noticed this, too, and i'm not sure about status of this issue.
to test it, write some letters in an empty writer document, format
then manually so that font size is changed (select with ctrl+a). now,
press 'end' twice. font size (and probably other parameters, too) for
current cursor position is changed to the one specified in 'default'
(in this case - 12).
of course, editing styles is the preferred way to change most things
in oo.org, but this seems quite unintuitive to me - for example,
create two lines, format them both with font size 10. position the
cursor in the first line, press 'end' twice - again it's 12...
this probably works as designed, but maybe there is a possibility to
change design in some unintrusive way ? anybody can comment on this ?
Robert Derman replies: This is the way that M$ Word works too, and I
don't like it there either! I got used to Wordstar, which was DOS and
not WYSIWYG, but when you changed the *default* font, it stayed
changed! Frankly, I would like to see a setting that lets you LOCK font
to what you have set.

I mark all, ctrl+A and make all text on the page into 10pts.
But what happens? All letters bacomes 10pts, but some gaps, empty
slots on
the page still remains 12 points. Walk around the marker with arrow
keyes
and look at the size shown
So, the text is changed but not the gaps even though it was marked.
Should
this be regarded as a bug... or is there any point meaning to it?
This is probably why text is hard to control. The same probably goes for
chage in fonts etc...
My version is still 1.1.1. so I may be a little behind... Check this
in your
newer versions.
