Re: [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Styles pane in Writer
I discovered my mistake, and it is truly embarrassing. I use both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice and, apparently, it is in the OpenOffice fork that the style box won’t come up in the “hierarchical” form. So far, it’s working just fine in Libre.

Re: [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Styles pane in Writer
Hi :) Ahh, that is interesting. Knowing how to fix AOO problems is not really helpful here but knowing that they do have problems, especially ones we don't have is good for my morale :D Fights and squabblings between the 2 projects often create a bad atmosphere that only helps MS so generally i think it's better that we just keep working together. On the other hand a bit of friendly rivalry can be fun.

Re: [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Styles pane in Writer
The reason I use both programs is that, in some respects each has an advantage over the other. AOO seems to work better with Linux Libertine G fonts, but, LibO properly hyphenates my U.S. English language, which AOO doesn't seem to do. AOO loads faster, but LibO loads my hierarchical style pane. And, neither uses the tabbed interface of Lotus Symphony, yet another fork I have installed on my system. So, I switch between programs, all the while fantasizing that someday, someone much smarter than I will combine the best features of all three into one program and eliminate all bugs. I'm not asking too much, am I?
