Someone on the Writer forum reported this: the message you used to get when opening a document linked to a template, asking if you wanted to "apply your current styles" (after the styles in the template were changed), no longer appears in OOo2.0.2, and there seems to be no way to have the document's styles update if you want it to. I have confirmed this, but I don't know when the function (and the message) disappeared from OOo, because I haven't used linked templates since 1.1.x.

Does anyone on this list know if this problem has been reported and if so, what the issue number is? (I can never find anything by searching IssueTracker.) I certainly hope it wasn't a deliberate omission, because this is a very important feature for many people, esp. those involved in a group project such as writing chapters of a book.

Yes, I know the workaround: Use "Load Styles". But that's cumbersome, not automatic, and requires users to know that the template has changed so they need to update their styles.

Thanks! -- Jean
