There's similar behavior in OpenOffice Writer. If you select a style while in Fill Format mode, and then try to make changes to the style (like changing the font or text color), the selected style reverts to "Default". The only way to get Writer to remember your changes is to create a new style. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
