Styles do lead something to be desired in OO... Not the technical or the logical aspect of it, just the interface is slightly broken
The way I see it OO uses styles a LOT more than MSO and unlike MSO actually encourages you to use them, however MSO enables styles to be used in a more natural way, yes, I mean it... Consider that MSO seems to have a real system for updating templates on the fly and for swapping templates applied to a document... while OOo will block any inheritance of styling as soon as you touch any attribute in a style and refuses to recognise any template that you put into your templates folder unless you use the /helpfully provided/ add template function hidden away in a menu... and you find yourself hacking horrible workarounds that make you think, surely styles were supposed to be a 'better way' of handling content. Also the permeation of the 'edit object style' can be confusing to the naive, but that I consider to be a feature for anyone who uses styles so I don't know what to do about that... -- Chris Monahan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
