Well, the extension is OSS and written in LibOBasic, so anyone is able to read the code and make changes. > Apparentely you can't even use styles from another Spreadsheet or Template > because there is no New Style from Selection button in Calc's Style and > Formatting toolbar. True - though you can still create a new default template of course. hmm - so I wonder if the lack of import style is because there is no API for it, or just no GUI support? Spending some time at http://api.libreoffice.org/ might answer that question. [Look in the IDL reference] Another good resource is Andrew Pitonyak's documents on Basic programming for OO.o at http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php Of course touching base with Heir Schnabel [Add a comment to the extension page maybe] wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
