Might be a problem where you are using 'Master documents' (see LibreOffice writer guide Chapter 13 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide). In that case you can split 1 big document up into multiple smaller documents. It might happen you have to start with 'Heading 3', without using Header 1 or 2. > In the case of other styles, they should appear as needed.

List and > Numbering styles should appear only when there are lists in the document. > Caption should appear only when there's an image with a caption. > The other styles should be treated similarly. Makes sense too :). But what about templates where you can pre-format styles that aren't used in the document now, but will be in the feature (and might be the same for all depending documents). A solution might be to have a kind of 'expert style modus/tab/...' where you can have access to all styles :). Templates and Master Documents are mostly used by people who aren't new to an office suit and knows about styles etc. Kind regards, Joren PS: marking as NEW because it looks like a valid report. I think marking as 'enhancement' is more correct :). Please correct me if I'm wrong -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
