Bug ID: 142788
Summary: LO should fully expose the Character Style implicit in
every paragraph style
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
In LO (and particularly Writer), a Paragraph style has an inherent default
character style for that paragraph - as the Paragraph style contains all
properties one would be able to set for a Character style. [1]
However:
1. The Paragraph style UI only allows modifying a subset of the properties of
this character style. So, one can set the default font family and font size,
but not the character/glyph width factor.
2. More generally, these inherent character styles are entirely _implicit_ -
they not mentioned or listed as such anywhere. And the Paragraph style
modification dialog does not make a strong distinction between the
Paragraph-ish properties and the Character-ish properties.
It seems obvious to me all Character-style-properties must be accessible via
the Paragraph style modification UI, somehow.
One way to do this would be to add more tabs; which may be a bit cumbersome,
but seems doable.
Another way to do this would be using the Character style modification dialog
as a sub-dialog of Paragraph style. This seems the "better-structured", perhaps
more elegant, approach; but if this approach is chosen, it may be worthwhile to
consider "recognizing" the existence of these inherent default character styles
elsewhere, in the documentation and perhaps in the UI.
