------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 7 04:35:35 +0000 2007 ------- In OOo documentation, and in the following, "direct formatting" means any formatting which is not applied by the Style attached to a paragraph - for example Bold applied by Ctrl+B. Currently, in OOo 2.2.0 Writer, there are two commands to remove direct formatting, so the selected text will only reflect the attached style: - "Default Formatting" removes both Character and Paragraph direct formatting. - "Remove Direct Character Formats" removes only direct Character formatting, while keeping any direct Paragraph formatting. (By the way: This command is broken in OOo 2.2.0 Writer. It is attached to Ctrl+Shift+X but that has no effect. I have reported that bug in a separate Issue.) I suggest we need a third command "Remove Direct Paragraph Formats" which would preserve any direct Character formatting and only remove any direct Paragraph formatting. Why it is needed: Imagine the user has selected a block of several paragraphs, with various styles such as a paragraph with Heading 1, two indented paras and some paras with the Default style (body text). Imagine the selection includes some words in Italics and some in Bold, all applied directly. It would be very useful to be able remove all direct paragraph formatting, to fix inconsistent line spacing and indentation etc, without having to redo all the detailed character formatting afterwards. Personally, I prefer to always use styles instead of direct paragraph formatting - but for character formatting of a few words in a paragraph I use direct formatting, such as Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I. I guess that is the same for many users of OOo Writer.
