Hi Bill
Just a suggestion which could help for your "Style Group" idea is to
make a template or series of templates using the styles you expect to
use. Note that the style has to be actually used on some, perhaps dummy,
text before it is saved in the template. Then if you save the document
with the "Styles and Formatting" window set at the "Applied Styles"
menu, all those will be listed and immediately available.
I don't know if that sort of arrangement would help, but I use it all
the time for my, admittedly fairly simple, requirements.
And I do the same. For example, I have a template for speech writing
obviously named "Speeches.tmpl" with my speeches styles attached. But
that only gets me part way there. Those particular page, paragraph and
character styles for writing speeches are somewhat unique. They are all
I want and need for a speech project. As it now exists, instead of
quickly looking up and clicking on a style change, I have to wade
through a whole pile of styles I don't use or want when I am writing a
speech. Adding new styles is not a difficulty in OO.o; getting rid of
unwanted styles is the problem. I would like to eliminate some styles
(temporarily) so that the use of styles is faster, cleaner and more
intuitive.
Perhaps calling it hiding un-used styles is a better way to explain.
But that goes hand-in-hand with being able to see my un-hidden styles
and only my un-hidden styles in the 'Apply Styles' control on my
formatting toolbar.
Are you actually pulling up the "Applied Styles" subset of the various
style types, using the dropdown selection at the bottom of the list?
Those would seem to work as you'd like, except that you have to first
select whether you are looking for a page, paragraph, or character
style. You might need to go to "Custom Styles" if you want one of yours
that isn't currently in use in the document. The situation you describe
is more what I'd expect from the "Automatic" or "All" selection.
