Is it possible to set Writer callout text paragraph style (or default settings,
if so where please.
This is to avoid having to change the font and left hand offset in every line
callout one at a time.
No, it is not possible. Using the legacy callouts or the custom shape callouts
makes no difference. You get always a shape and in Writer neither for the shape
itself nor for the text in the shape styles are possible. You can only use
direct formatting in Writer.
Your distinction between legacy callouts and custom shape callouts implies that
the basic idea has been around for some time, and special callout shapes were
added later. Do you recall when it started, and at what point someone was moved
to add custom shapes? In order to understand the issue (and any possible
deficiencies) further, I would like to:
(1) see the earliest Writer Guide and Help in which callouts are mentioned;
(2) try to understand why special shapes were of more interest than style
support;
(3) try to understand the intended use of the "Callouts" toolbar, and why it
has not been made visible;
(4) try to understand when and why Vertical Callouts were added to the Drawing
toolbar (but not made visible).
Kind regards,
John
