------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 23 19:49:40 +0000 2008 ------- Could the description of the issue be changed in something referencing character styles availability within Impress? I think this would avoid the proliferation of duplicate issues. Also I would like to report here some excerpts from the comments made on issue 57296 which I think give a better idea of what is needed. -- Redux in January 2007 i would particularly welcome this functional addition in order to get far better presentation-level handling of things like consistent hyperlink colours...at the moment, it seems backwards having to either manually recolour each hyperlink, or setting the entire OpenOffice suite's link appearance in the preferences. -- nemoresus in March 2007 I fully agree, impress can do a bunch of text formatting but its style support sucks. It does not have paragraph styles either, only some hardcoded styles applied to the whole text of text-boxes ! One can use style by inserting a OOo-text object but styles are not shared between them (and it makes editing way more painfull). Presentations are not only used as "one shot" eye catching things, their consistency is also important for some people! -- jvromans in March 2007 Seconded. Not having character styles is a BIG omission. I produce a lot of training materials for Impress and maintaining consistent styles is a pain. Also, not having character and paragraph styles undermines the statement that OOo is a single, consistent program instead of a conglomeration of loose tools, like MSO is (or must I say, was?). -- aschwarzie in May 2007 The lack of character styles or the ability to easily copy and paste character formating is a significantly impacting weakness, especially when it comes to polishing the elements of a bulleted list, by "highlighting" key words. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
