Hi :)
I am hoping to move the company newsletter to Scribus, or something.
A couple of years ago we moved it to LibreOffice from MS Office and
since then many people have commented on the vast improvement in
quality. Also it takes just a couple of days now where it used to
take 1-2 weeks. Plus

For my company's newsletter i sometimes copypaste into a text-editor

You can e.g. create insert a variable called User Field:

2) Place Cursor at the desired first occurence of the variable.

Oh yes and that hits the nail on the head. Now that the problem has
been defined, the solution becomes easy. Provide a way to SEE exactly
how the formatting has been applied - and a quick link shortcut to
removing it! Formatting/styles are - in my mind - similar to field

I suspect that at least part of the problem here is that it is sometimes
difficult to see - especially with an inherited document - exactly how
formatting has been applied and consequently how it might be removed.
The problem is that _some_ formatting seems to get stuck. This is either

It's amazing that people have to learn how to drive and pass a test.
There are so few controls. Usually a wheel or handle-bar or joystick

Maybe something to make it go up or down.
So at most it's about 3 controls right?
