On the style definition dialog, at the bottom, there is a button labeled

I knew that I had run some experiments on the behavior of the standard and reset
buttons and had seen the behavior I reported, but following your instructions
yielded the behavior you described. Some googling around yielded a similar
discussion to this one (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=67777),
and the key thing that came out of it was how "Standard" is a per-tab thing (as
you note above), not a per-style thing. From what I can tell, it applies both
to character and paragraph styles, which is nice, because I had had trouble with
an inability to remove some paragraph customizations and revert to inheriting
the behavior for those characteristics.
Thanks for clarifying this for me.
I really do try to consult the documentation before posting, but I rarely find
what I am looking for. Even now that I better understand what the "Standard"
button on the paragraph and character style dialogs does, I can't find a
description of it in the online help, the OO Writer Guide, or Solveig Haugland's
OOo Guidebook. Coming by information on how style linking works seems to be
especially difficult, yet this is at the absolute foundation of effective style
use. Is there some source of information about Writer that covers this kind of
stuff that I'm simply unaware of?
Thanks,
Scott
