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.
Okay, I just don't want other users thinking that they have to have
toolbars "full of buttons with no use". I guess there weren't that many
useless ones. :)
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).
Whether you re-mapped them or used custom ones, the Applied style list
would be the same length, so I don't see how re-mapping the toolbar
would solve your problem?
Have a good one,
