V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- @Bryant, This is simple, we don't care what MS Word does! Sorry, but you're missing the picture here--what you are describing is direct formatting of selected text while you are working, probably in "default" sytle mode. Rather, since LibreOffice Styles are modal and are selected from the Styles and Formatting content panel of the Sidebar we should enter text and deal with styles in blocks. Most often that will be by selecting a preexisting Paragraph style (or modifying it to create a new paragraph style)--but there are panels for applying styles to characters, frames, pages, numbering & bullets. So, as in your example, we create the text in "default" style, select it and chose the style we'd like it to have. Or, we can still apply divergent direct formatting to the selection if that is preferred (simplicity, laziness) using any of the buttons on the formatting toolbar. But beyond changing the selection, you have not at that point changed the "default" style, entering additional paragraphs will again be "default"--as modified by any buttons left active. It is easy to see the effects of correctly applied styles versus what has been directly formatted. Simply select all text (Edit -> Select All) and then remove direct formatting (Format -> Clear Direct Formatting)--what is left (likely all now "default" formatted) is what was correctly Styled. Working with styles in LibreOffice really is very efficient and lends itself to creating consistent documents. It is just not done the way MS Office/Word does it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
