------- Additional comments from burnin...@openoffice.org Wed Apr 1 09:52:12 +0000 2009 ------- Hi! I gues you are completely right. OpenOffice Calc provides a function to exacly slect which attribute to insert (formulas, values, strings, ...) - I guess something similar would be useful in the Writer. Back to the TOC issue, I think that bolds and underlines may be a bit more difficult as there is a paradigm that structural formats shall be distinguished from visual formats (like <b> vs. <strong>). Sub-/Superscript on the other side is no format (in the logical sense) but it changes the very meaning of the text: m2 is not the same like m². However, while "bold" only is a visual description for many users, it may be a meaning-changing convention in natural sciences (e.g. in a chemical formula). Maybe it would be enough to preserve hard formats in the TOC and only remove character formats applied by style. If someone then gets bold entries in the TOC due to manual format - not perfect usability, but this user will learn... However, I guess this will not solve the problem on inserting passages and should be handled separately. The clipboard will usually not tell if "Times 12pt, bold" is just the style used for the source document or if it is a hard format. Or even worse: If it is a hard format used throughout the whole file. However preserving sub-/superscript when inserting without formats would be helpful. But this seems to be another issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
