            Bug ID: 100382
           Summary: Updating Paragraphs Or Styles Is Illogical & Time
                    Consuming For The User
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

After much trial and tribulation, I finally managed to get a paragraph to
bassume the characteristics of a particular Style, by double clicking on the
style name - I later found that defined in a manual somewhere.

This was a very hit and miss find , as far as I'm concerned. Can I please
request the following :-

Please add two new actions when you right click on a Style in the "Styles &
Formatting" dialog (brought up using F11) :-

+ Apply Style To -> Current Paragraph.
                 -> All Paragraphs.
+ Update Style From Current Paragraph.

Even better still, add new action buttons onto the "Styles & Formatting"
toolbar which also do the above. Maybe label buttons "S>P", S>A", "P>S".

This would be useful when a style does not have the Automatic setting checked,
so will not be automatically updated when a paragraph using that style is
formatted differently to the Style that's associated with it. Being able to
manually update the style from the paragraph easily, once the user has decided
that the paragraph format is more akin to what they are seeking.

Adding these new action buttons will considerably improve the usability of the
functionality surrounding applying style formatting to paragraphs. The user
shouldn't have to wrack their brains trying to figure out how to do it - it
should be as simple as a single click of a mouse button.
