I am trying to get used to styles (rather struggling) Problem: During work (translation) I want to mark certain portions of text that I would like to go over again later, before I send the job off. In Word or WordPerfect I use the "highlight" function for this and have a keyboard shortcut assigned.
In writer I tried to assign a keyboard shortcut (like eg. Alt+H) that has the effect of highlighting the currently selected text and preferrably also remove the highlighting when pressed again (toggle between ON/OFF). First, I could not find the item (highlight) under "Tools -> customize -> keyboard (categories, functions; looked through all available items)". Next, I created a character style that does the above. But these styles seem to be limited to the currently edited document. And although my style seems to be still there, the keyboard shortcut works only if it feels like it (mostly not), and I have to set it up again and again ... Is there a way of making this setting "stay" active in ALL documents I will be working on/with? Someone also suggested, that I need to create a template, that contains all the styles I would like to use. This is a related question: how do I apply (make them available??) styles to the entire document? Including documents that were created in Word for example and read with Writer (to be edited). In that case - I tried that - formatting from Word seems to interfer with the styles I am trying to apply. Is there such thing as a "document style" (so far I could not find any mentioning of that in any of the available documentations) that I can apply to the entire document I am working on. Not only the individual paragraph(s)? Thank you.
