--- Comment #5 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
All that information is super, super helpful.
I will get started on fixing it all up according to your information.
Do you have any idea, though, why it all worked fine in the older version of
the document, even though all numbers in the page style dialogs are the same?
It seems strange to me that it suddenly and so dramatically went from "all
good" to "99% bad".
What units does LO use for storing these numbers? I ask because I wonder if
the numbers might only *look* the same because they're being rounded before
being displayed as points (so maybe, if I selected some other units, I would
see differences between the two documents)? In which case, when I used Reset
on some Page Style tab, perhaps I "invisibly" changed a number?
Also, do you have any tips for reassigning italics to each span of text
throughout the entire book, after clearing all manual formatting? Doing so
manually will be about a full day's work, and will be quite error prone, too.
I would guess there are something like 2,000 instances to re-apply when I wipe
out all formatting.
I assume I should not simply copy and paste all the text into a new empty
document with well-designed page styles? Nor save as RTF or .docx or something
first, and then copy/paste from there into the new and pristine document?
Is there any way to apply italics to text that would persist through a "clear
manual formatting"? I have a vague feeling I've seen something about manually
setting a word or phrase in italics is not preferred (and, maybe, that defining
a character style would be preferable), but I don't know of a simple and
efficient way to set emphasis except Ctrl-I or clicking the Italics icon. I
can't believe I'd need to open the Character style inspector and manually
select a defined "emphasis/italic" style for each selected piece of text, as
that sounds like a many-click sequence of actions.
Anyway, the information you've already provided should be enough for me to fix
up my problem, so thank you for all your help already!
These extra questions are just to try to work out how to reduce my work in
fixing my problem.
