------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jul 7 12:25:25 -0700 2005 ------- I downloaded the latest Open Office build yesterday (1.9.113) In the word processor, I 1) type in some text 2) highlight a word or more, and select a Character Style from the Styles and Formatting (e.g. Quotations) Observed: 1) As expected: I get the style applied 2) NOT as expected: The "Apply Styles" drop down list in the "Formatting" toolbar does not change; it continues to describe the current style as Default. Having repeatedly tried this with various character styles, and custom styles, I believe this is a problem whereby only the Paragraph Style is being shown for the text where the cursor is. The reason I say this is a defect, rather than an enhancement request, is that I believe for people who rely on this styling information, this product is very hard to use when having to maintain, edit, change character styles. Example usage: I use the Quotation style, rather than a simple Ctrl-i for italics, because semantically speaking I may have text that is a quotation. When I convert this to XHTML (using my own XSL rather than the in-built one, so I have more control), I can tell that I need to use a <q> tag, rather than an <em> or <i> or any other tag that can create a similar VISUAL effect. Doing so makes the resulting HTML far more accessible, as the document semantics are far richer. OpenOffice is potentially a great tool for people to write documents in a word processed environment and have that converted not only to a validating XHTML page, but also an accessible one. I therefore place this issue as a defect with a higher priority. Sincere apologies if this is a duplicate (I am a newbee to OpenOffice, and have tried to search for existing issues and not found any). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
