I summarized what the template itself had to say about the use of styles (see Terminology and
Styles under "various") -- I noted where I thought new styles looked useful. But the response I
got about trying to do this level of update was basically, "Let's get the documents out first,
and clean up this kind of detail later." Is that still the case? I don't know if anybody else has
looked at that document yet, it will need updating when we focus more on this type of issue.
I'll peruse what is under "various", if that's where such notes can be found.
My two cents: If I'm proofing for any reason and notice such things, I'd like to be able to mark
them. It doesn't mean it is necessary to be complete at this point or that such a mark has any
effect in the output, but it will save having to look for them again later.
So simply having a style defined would be helpful. We can decide on exactly how it should look,
and make sure they are all covered, later. Until then, set a subtle effect for draft work and no
difference from normal text on final output, so user's won't see it.
I agree -- right now, they are generally either OOoEmphasis or OOoStrongEmphasis, but not
consistently. The template itself covers it under Character Styles -- I just summarized in a table
for easier reference. It might be a start. And I've done the same thing sometimes when I happened to
notice that the readability was affected. It's just not something to get really serious about yet,
apparently. Doing it right will certainly be time-consuming -- but there seem to be at least two of
us who are champing at the bit to do it!
