--- Comment #2 from Adalbert Hanßen <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Dieter from comment #1) > Adalbert, thank you for reporting the problem. I'm not sure about the second > step "Assign some standard templates in each of them." How do you do that? > AFAIK every user has the standard (default) template. > ... By "assign some standard templates to then" I meant for example: * make some paragraphs "Body text", * some others "Heading 1", * some others "Preformatted text" and so on. You are right, I can rename templates which I have created myself. But the names of "standard ones" are locked. If they were not locked, I could adapt them. But there is no merging operation. Unfortunately the standard templates seem to be named differently in different language version: * "Body text" - "Textkörper" * "Heading 1" - "Überschrift 1" and so on. In documents which have been worked on with different versions and language versions of LibreOffice and which have been merged before with predecessor documents with a similar history, it is easy to accumulate a lot of styles and therefore we need some means to mange them: e.g. if there are character styles named "Source text" and another one called "Source text 16" (e.g. to be used in headlines), if in one of the ancestor files this privately created one would be named "Source Text16", after pasting things with text formatted with them, the target file gets them both. The only way to merge them into one seems to be via AltSearch.oxt and find all occurrences of the to be changed one of the two, then use "Find All" (which takes very long) and while they are marked, assign the other style to them. What you say about custom styles: Are their names always in English? I Think, I have seen their names in German too. Are are two names associated to each style, an English one plus a localized one of the installed package (which are equal in an English installation). Does the UI show the localized name then? But I have seen cases with similar styles with different language names in one document and sometimes I had to use AltSearch.oxt to merge them. If the user would be offered a merging operation, i.e. * assign target template to everything tagged as source template * in the variants paragraph templates/character templates this would also be solve the task of streamlining the use of styles in a document which has been worked upon by different versions of LibreOffice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
