------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 5 01:47:51 -0700 2006 ------- I would like propose the possibility to use external style sheets for Writer documents (much like the use of external style sheets for web sites). Now, one chooses a template when creating documents, and changes made to formatting styles inside the document are local. By keeping the style sheet external to the writer document, it will be much more easier to maintain a number of documents (and a master document) using the same formatting. F.i., if one is to write a book, it is very likely that each and every chapter is written in a seperate Write document and the book is combined in a master document. A template will be created which will contain the base formatting styles used for each chapter and used for the master document. If, however, a new style needs te be added, or an existing style needs to be changed (which will happen for sure), all other chapters and the master document must reload the styles (if one is to maintain the same look and feel for all chapters during the writing process - f.i. changing the page header and footer height to present an example). I propose the use of an external style sheet, where the changes of one style in one document is automatically carried over into any other document using the same external style sheet. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
