Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
Summary: Update styles when text is formatted
Classification: Application
Product: Word processor
Version: OOo 3.3
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: formatting
AssignedTo: [email protected]

When a user changes the formatting of text, it would be helpful if Writer were
to offer a method to update the style, not just the particular selected text.
This would help promote the proper use of styling documents, and would be a
terrific usability enhancement.
The feature could be implemented as a toolbar[1] that pops up when the change
is made, much as the Bullets and Numbering toolbar pops up when the user
initiates a list. This would be unobtrusive yet informative to the user. Of
course, a keyboard shortcut should also be available.
Caveats:
1) It might be preferable to initiate this feature only when an entire area of
a style is selected, not for small portions.
2) If an entire paragraph is selected, and that paragraph is less than a full
line wide, it might make sense to assume that the user is incorrectly using
paragraphs for style and offer to change that paragraph into a heading.
[1] The toolbar would have these buttons, in accordance with the feature as
described:
- Update Style
- Change Paragraph to Heading
- Change All Single-line Paragraphs to Headings
