[discuss] style tagging - 2 different ways

2006-09-15 Thread Michael Pless
Hi, as an avid OO user, I can't help but notice in Writer, that when using the ribbon/toolbar to assign a text style to a paragraph, I need only one click. When I use the style palette, I need a double click. I don't believe there ought to be two clicks required when using the palette. My

All, I'll be posting a longer article on OOoCon 2005 shortly, but I'd like to say that the recently concluded OOoCon 2006 was all we could have wanted and then a lot more. It was educational and fun; a meeting place for new friends and a rendezvous for those who meet but once a year.
