--- Comment #9 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- Mike Kaganski, I hope to provide more clarity here! First of all, we all agree that formatting is not the main task in word processing software. This is a task I typically tackle at the end of the workflow before my final proofread. But I find that the formatting process is not optimal, that it wastes my time. Today, to edit a style, 1. I go to the side panel 2. I right-click to open the context menu. 3. I then choose “new” or “edit a style”. 4. The window takes 2 to 3 seconds to open. 5. I make my various modifications. 6. I apply or click OK. The window closes. And to change another style, I have to redo exactly the same process which contains a right click, a left click and several seconds to open the style management window: it is this process that I find laborious. Heiko Tietze said: > So the button could be rather "New" next to the Name field in the organizer > tab. It would make the name editable and set the "Inherited from" to the > current style. This is exactly what I dreamed of! :) A “New” option as well as a drop-down list offering existing styles would allow us to manage the modification of our styles without leaving the window: 1. I open the styles editing window (with a keyboard shortcut!) 2. I choose the style to modify or I click on “create” (or “new”) 3. I make my modifications 4. I click on “apply” Then, I continue my stylization of the other styles without leaving this window. This saves several steps, many seconds and many right clicks! Ultimately, the proposal can be summarized as transforming the "edit style" window for each style into a general and unique window: "edit styleS". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
