Neat. I was wondering what work-around you would find.
The only one i thought of was to try to remember that i would have to

Hi :)
I think it's great that LibreOffice allows both systems to be used within a
single document. I rarely need to completely change the entire look of any
documents so direct formatting works well for me.

In the Tools/Customize dialogs, you can assign
Hi :)
I think you have gone into quite advanced usages of styles. To start with
i kept it extremely simple and mixed in some direct formatting too.
It took a while to get used to direct formatting too but that was so long
