--- Comment #7 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Ulrich Windl from comment #6) > Wouldn't the easy fix be to reset the character style to "no style" (default > style) before inserting via Ctrl+V? No. The "no character style" means "take paragraph-level formatting", be it paragraph style, or its (paragraph's) direct formatting. So - it still will *not* be what you expect. And even if the paragraph itself uses the same-name styles ... there is the "default paragraph style" (and even lower-level default document paragraph formatting) that may differ between documents. What you imagine, could *only* *ever* be possible, if we take the text that you copied to clipboard, and on "normal" paste, we put it *completely direct-formatted* to bear the same visual appearance. But your "when I paste text, I expect it to look as in source" is *not* the only possible expectation for the normal paste; and in Writer, which is fundamentally style-oriented, it's not the adopted expectation. The used philosophy is: when I paste text from the source, I expect it to *behave* as in the source. It means - use the styles approach; if the text has no own style, it must not bring own style (and that means: adopt existing style). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
