Can you give _specific_ examples of where one can not apply styles,
and thuse has to use direct formatting?
So, we must use the bold, italics, etc... So, this is where reveal codeswould
come in handy.
Taking a quick look t my default writer template:
Hiearchical arrangement:
Character styles:
* Italic
** book title
** biological
** foreign words
** Organization names
I'll omit the tertiary derivtices, because they are either colour
specific or language specific.
I'll omit the entire hierarchy for "bold" on the same grounds.
Now just where must one use something, because it can not be done as a
numbering, character , or pragraph style?
I believe that instead of saying that it is not possible because of the way OO
is structured, that we talk to the programmers to work out a solution.
Maybe you will understand this analogy.

There are property pointers in OOo that indicate when the styles
change. These can be used like Reveal Codes. Not fully but I feel
enough to resolve 90% of those that refuse to use OOo for lack of RC's.
Here is my example where styles don't always work.
If there is a problem, then fix it. You say that styles works in all
cases. I say they don't. You have the privilege of default styles.
I don't. I very rarely get to start documents. I usually get
documents that come from different sources. Some text, some old
version of Word, some new versions of Word. Some WordPerfect. I have
to put them into one formatted document. Sometimes inserting just a
small part into a much bigger document. Sometimes only using a little
of the original.
As someone suggested before about deleting the styles using a
keystroke combo. On a test document that I tried, it didn't change
anything so I still had a problem but I don't know where or how to fix it.
