As there is no way to change the style of bullets/lists created with the toolbar button, i was wondering if it is possible to re-map the toolbar button so it will use a specific style. Even better: re-map all the direct formating toolbar buttons so they would use styles.
Even better2: save this re-mapped toolbar with a template.

Have checked to see what style is used when you click the button, and the edit that styles?

It uses a character style which I can edit, but no identifiable paragraph style (apart from the style of the surrounding paragraph). As I want to change indents, I can either change it for each list manually, or create my own list styles and skip using the button. Both are a pain.

in many HTML editors you can choose if the toolbar buttons create ad-hoc formating or semantic formating ( <b> vs. <strong>). As OOo is very strong when it comes to semantic formating (==styles) I just wish the toolbar could reflect that.


Is it possible? Or am I stuck with a toolbar full of buttons with no use for me,

You can edit your toolbar to remove any button you don't like.

I know, but it doesn't really save much space, since there are buttons there that I *do* want, so I can't get rid of the full toolbar.


and an ever-growing stylist window (which is starting to become unmanageable)?

You can use the drop down box on the bottom of the Styles and Formatting List to only show a limited # of styles. I usually use either Custom (to show mine) or applied (to show all of the applied styles in the document).

I use these options all the time, but it is still getting long. At the moment, I have 20 custom paragraph style, and 8 character styles + I have some default styles applied, so both lists are rather long and getting harder and harder to manage (I'll probably have more styles before this document is finished).
