[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 135650] Can't set default font/char size in draw, can do it in writer

With only limited styling when a Text Box is added to the Draw shape and taking 'Frame Contents' styling for the inscribed frame. In Draw on the other hand--adding additional styles beyond the single font/size 'Default Drawing Style' is more efficient than applying direct formatting to multiple Draw objects. As you note repetitively applying Direct Formatting to draw object text is not supported--that is for a given Draw objects text, the objects context menu Character dialog provides the Direct Formatting, no Toolbar listboxes for applying the DF. And the context menu selections (e.g. Character...) are only applicable to that object. The Draw object styles mechanism are simply more efficient work flows, offering ability to define hundreds of drawing styles to template for reuse--and applicable not just to lettering. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135650 --- Comment #3 from lachenma...@mchsi.com --- As I tried to explain my modus operandi is: I set the font/size and create a few text boxes. Then I want to change the font/size and create a few more. I click the Styles sidebar, select Default>Modify, make the changes, and go back to my drawing. Now I see that all my text boxes that I just typed have been changed to the new font size. Now I have to change them all back, go create an new Style for second set of text boxes. I type the next set of text boxes. Now I want create a few text boxes with a third font/size. Again I have to create a new Style. Now, in order to save these font/sizes for next time I have to create a template. Now I a make a new drawing. I bring up the template I saved last time, but I want a completely different set of font/sizes. Again I have to create new Styles for each font/size. And I have to remember to save it before I quit Draw, or I lose them. What a nuisance just to change font/size Writer does it so much better Suggest modification of Draw to work like Writer. So much easier and it would also be consistent across LO apps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135650 V Stuart Foote changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |NOTABUG CC||vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote --- (In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #1) > If I'm not wrong you can change the 'Default drawing style', so all text > boxes with no direct format should change. Yes correct. The Direct Formatting applied to each draw object can not be repeated without copying/pasting the draw object. So it requires use of Styles to have persistence object to object in the current document. Adjust the 'Font' tab for 'Default Drawing Style' to apply to text entered in any draw shape, or draw textbox for the current document (Draw, Impress, Writer or Calc). Also, a modification made to the default style will propagate to all draw objects with the style. So, if you need draw objects with different fonts/weights--you'll need to create a couple of styles modeled on the default. Finally you need to create a template document containing the modified style(s) to reuse them on other documents. If that is unclear, please see the user guides for more complete explanations.
