--- Comment #20 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #19) > (In reply to Tex2002ans from comment #18) > > - Right-Click on colored box > "Select All Same Style". > Well, the point of styles is to apply everywhere. No need to select :-). Not sure whether you meant this as a joke, but - you do need to select if you want to do something with that content (other than make changes to the named style). You can: * Delete all of it * Remove DF in it. * Switch it to another style * Apply some DF to it * Cut or copy it * Make it into a bulleted or numbered list * Word-count it * Just get an impression of where it's used as you scroll through the text, especially when you zoom out and if what you've selected is not a named style but some style+DF - then also * Define a new named style based on it > > - "Surgical Editing" > How about some piece of text where italic is used for Emphasis and another > for Caption. I think the F&R way is more surgical than some probability > method. 1. (Perhaps Tex2000Ans mis-spoke, but) this bug is not about being surgical, it's about selecting _everything_ and then looking at what you've selected or doing things with the selection or parts of it. 2. F&R is not a (surgical) editing tool. You can switch out of the dialog, do an edit, then continue, but that's not convenient and it's difficult to intuit what the dialog will do when you get back into it and click next. 3. F&R for is effectively inaccessible like I've already argued. > MSO might look smart in some cases but fails in complex scenarios. 1. Please elaborate. 2.

"Make it an extension" is the little brother of "let's describe things better in documentation"... :-( No, we want this in vanilla LibreOffice. I will concede, however, that in MSO, we use this feature just to inspect which content has the style, while in LO we have the style spotlight, which offers this functionality to a certain degree, for named styles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
