Hi again,

In case you see this, I would like to clarify.  I do translation of Japanese
documents to English, usually Word and sometimes powerpoint or even Excel.

I usually place the cursor above the Japanese text and start typing, leaving a
blank line between the top section (my translation) and the Japanese remaining
to translate (below the cursor).  I erase Japanese as I go along (this maximizes
vertical screen real estate too).

OOo is bad at this, if I type in Arial with a different Japanese font below, if
I move down to erase some Japanese and then go back up to the end of the last
English line, invariably OOo wants to use Japanese or even a bigger English
font.  I have to fight with that unnamed function. 

It would be nice if OOo was a little smarter about it, maybe just setting the
style to the last character.  Usually I have to position the cursor before the
last character, type a period and some returns, and type within that expanded
English font space.

Same goes for editting multicolored text, which was a major pain (in simpress)
recently.  

Recently I discovered that I can (at least with Arial) convert everything to
Arial (which ought to be just an English font) and the Japanese will switch to
some Japanese font, and it works.  This is more sane.
