As far back as 2004, Bruce Byfield had complained in Linux Journal articles about a missing something that I'd mentioned even several years before that... and apparently it might still be unavailable in OpenOffice Writer.
Is it just me, or have the OOo developers still not seen the value of giving Character Styles an "As is" or "As found" option on all the character attribute lists? If I have two dozen Paragraph Styles, and I want to be able to apply (for example) a "Bold-and-blue" character style to individual words or characters in any of them... does that mean I must create two dozen different "Bold-and-blue..." character styles? And then two dozen different "Small-caps" character styles, and then two dozen different.... you get the idea... ? An "As-is..." option in the Character attribute lists would allow me to create just a single "Bold-and-blue" character style that could be applied anywhere. Thus, the list of Character Styles would not need to run on for pages. Instead it would have just one 'apply anywhere' "Bold-and-blue" character style and just one 'apply anywhere' "Small-caps" style and just one of whatever other general style I desired. Have I overlooked or misunderstood, and this functionality is in there somewhere, maybe with a different name or a different way of applying it?
