--- Comment #33 from Adalbert Hanßen <adalbert.hans...@gmx.de> --- How can you actually tell for sure and at a glance what actually made an effective formatting: PS, CS or DF? First you have to remove DF and observe, what happens. Then you have to use the Styles inspector <F11> and set it to Character Styles, in order to see, if there is any CS other than "No Character Style". If there is one, you even have to enter its modify dialogue to see, how it is defined or reset the CS to No CS and see, what happens. Once you have excluded this, you can rely on the PS being effective at the current editing position. Unfortunately many users have no idea about styles. If they ever try styles, they easily give up because it appears to be very complicated. See my question and my answer above! The basic idea using styles is to use direct formatting as little as possible. Then of course, switching off DF and CS at a form feed and possibly also after a forced linefeed looks natural, especially because switching off both CS and DF requires more than one step. If the tool buttons for bold, italic, underline, ... , color would appear different depending on how the current editing position is effectively formatted: by PS, CS or by DF, *and* if there were a button "get rid of all special formatting" (i.e. drop CS and DF) my argument would weigh much less. Are there such a featurea? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
