Here's an earlier post from Pablo Dotro: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv On 11/07/13 07:50, Virgil Arrington wrote: > Once you apply your style, you can clear any direct formatting by > selecting the text and hitting <Ctrl-M>.

If you apply some direct formatting (i.e. bold something by hand), then apply some charactery style, then a paragraph style (with the format you really wanted in the first place)... what you get is a mix of applied formatting that almost never corresponds to the style you wanted. If you clear the direct formatting there, it does not reset completely. You have to also remove the applied character style to get the text to respond completely to the paragraph style. It's annoying, but It could be considered a feature, not a bug ;-) Cheers,
-- Pablo M. Dotro ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's the case I'm talking about. I've struck it as well. I suspect it might be tied up with list style interactions, but I can't be sure. I certainly ran into it in an imported .doc converted to .odt. (Not a very complex document, with few styles and lots of "hand" formatting, spaces and newlines.) There is, in fact, another 'clear formatting' option. If you open the style list pull-down, and scroll t the very top, there is a "Clear formatting" option, which behaves very differently from the "Clear direct formatting ^M" option. It does seem to perform a pretty radical paragraph formatting reset. However, as I no longer have access to the intermediate forms of the file I was working on, I can't test to see whether it solves the problem. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/A-feature-or-tp4064910p4085369.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
