Hi Rod,

I'm not really following this debate, but noticed something in your post that I wanted to comment on. Relative styles ARE possible in OpenOffice... they're just not intuitive. At all! Give me a yell if you're wanting/trying to set them up.

I'm curious at least. Can you set up a character style that will, for instance, apply italic formatting, over the top of a section of text that is composed of mixed fonts or point sizes without changing the underlying fonts or sizes? I know about hierarchal styles if that's what you're referring to.

My understanding is that the format of a single character is determined by:

1. The font settings of the underlying paragraph style.
2. Possibly modified by exactly one character style.
3. Possibly modified by the direct formatting in a non-structured manner.

What I would love is a character style that only specifies italic so that when applied to TNR 12 point results in italic TNR 12-point, and when applied to Arial Bold 10-point results in italic Arial Bold 10-point, etc.
