BTW: my wife seems to have trouble doing that. She always ends up with
a piece of text where everything is using the "default" font, but that
font has different size and style at different places ;-(
This is an issue with different styles and direct formatting. If this
is a document that was created by someone else, have some fun. Not an
easy task as you say here.
So when time comes to change things it's a real hassle.
No argument. I have run into this so many times and one of the reasons
that I prefer WordPerfect's reveal codes.
This is a RFE for OOo.

I suggested that there be at least a way of viewing where formatting
changes occur, like displaying non-printable characters. This would at
least make it easier to find formatting points in a document. Tracing
nested styles can be a real pain.
Is there some way to get OpenOffice to help her fix her habits?
E.g. move the font-selection dialog away from immediate reach so she can
still easily choose between "default" and others, but can't change the
font or size used for `default' without going through more effort?
I guess I can do it by hand, but it seems like maybe it would be good
for OOo to have a "mode" specifically for that (I'd also argue this mode
should be the default, but I'll keep it for later).

The best option is to teach your wife by getting her to correct these
problems.
There is supposed to be a way to remove all styles but I have never used
it because I would have to go back and remember and reformat documents
that I didn't create to the way they were before.
