--- Comment #7 from Greg <[email protected]> --- I'm sure there are other use cases where the fine detail of expressions will give great power and flexibility, as described, but a use case that I've had in business is a document or presentation created by someone who hasn't the first clue about using styles to drive typographic consistency. I have wasted many hours, taking those sorts of docs from the hand crafted mess they are, riddled with inconsistencies to a sound, style based doc. It seems to me that a tool, based on k-means cluster analysis (using the attributes in a default or chosen style collection) as a way to look for closeness of fit for elements that 'should' be an existing style. The user experience might be: 1. Turn on the tool 2. k-means algorithm runs against clusters represented by each style 3. each word/group of words/sentence/paragraph that has sufficient similarity to an existing style is highlighted - some sort of progressive disclosure allows the user to see the deltas from the style. User can adopt that style, make a variant new style or ignore the suggestion 4. In extremis, the user could 'accept all' suggestions Ta-daa. Quickly have a consistent, style based doc. Minimal effort. Did similar with large volumes of security permissions and massively reduced the workload! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
