[libreoffice-users] Re: Default character formatting not behaving as it did in OOo?

Thanks Dash. Your point is well taken and I suppose I could have used a much
simpler example -- an example of how I use this in practice and why Undo
won't suffice. (I should also note that the observed behaviour occurred on
the Mac OS version of LO -- I will try it in Ubuntu in VirtualBox and see if
the same behaviour occurs.)

In any event, here is the real world scenario:

I use LO to take notes in class. I have a character style called BigWords,
which applies a dash underline, bolds the text and gives it a coloured
background. My (obvious) intent is to be able to quickly review my notes at
a later date and concentrate on only the important information.

I assigned a keyboard shortcut to the BigWords style, so as I type, I can
simply hit the keyboard shortcut and continue typing. Under OOo, I could
then hit Ctrl-M and continue typing the remainder of the sentence. Because
of the inconsistency in LO, I cannot do the same in it. And, of course, if I
am several pages on and realize that I want to change the location of
BigWords in a previous section, Undo is of no use.

Thank you for checking against the Ubuntu version. I hope what I wrote makes
sense.

[libreoffice-users] Default character formatting not behaving as it did in OOo?

[missinglens]

LibreOffice is behaving in an unexpected manner with respect to default
character formatting. To replicate, first do the following in
OpenOffice.org:

1. Start a new document.
2. Type a few words and highlight one of the middle words.
3. Apply a different Character style to that text. For example, apply
Emphasis.
4. Now choose Default Formatting from the Format menu or use the keyboard
shortcut: Ctrl-M
5. Note the formatting reverts to the Default format.

Now do the same thing in LibreOffice. Note that Default Formatting now
appears to do nothing. The character style stays the same. It would appear
that the only method for removing the style applied at step 3 above is to
choose the character formatting from the Style dock.

Is this by design?

Thanks in advance,

Max
