This can be thought of in the same way that word processors use styles, the row style is the paragraph style and the text style is the character style. Were you to directly select all the text in that row and did Format > Clear Style, it would then appear as Helvetica Neue 14pt. Styles can be applied to specific text, in this case, Calibri 16pt, or the row itself - Helvetica Neue 14pt. As for specific issues from Aug 28th, I will try to explain what’s going on there. Sorry there hasn’t been further replies here. The irony is that styling text in this web browser is proving easier than styling text in OO. I seriously suggest you address this most frustrating bottleneck to productivity in OO. Even Markdown styling would prove more effective that this. I am now styling my text elsewhere as this is wasting so much of my time. Allowing the existing style to ignore the application of a newly selected style unless you first manually clear the style is the most unintuitive and time consuming process to style any text. If I apply a style to the text I expect OO to change it to that style. The only way to change the style is to totally remove the formatting and then apply a new style. OO which is it, Helvetica Neue 14pt or Calibri, 16pt? Why does OO not know what the style is? If I click the text and move into edit mode the inspector now tells me that the text is Calibri, 16pt. If I select the line via clicking the bullet so the whole line is highlighted, the inspector tells me that the text is Helvetica Neue, 14pt. I’ve given up! Styles in OO are just a disaster. Even when duplicating an OO document and trying to edit the styles that are not pasted but exist in a duplicated document. However, as I work through the text I want to be able to edit the style, and this appears next to impossible. I paste formatted text into OO because I want to retain the emphases of the text. This adds real friction to getting work done with OO. It should be easy and more importantly work. Is this expected behaviour?Īll in all, I believe there is some work that needs to be done with styles. I’m not sure if this is a bug, but if I select an outline and apply a style, that applied style disappears (the style checkbox unchecks) when I click in the outline to edit or write text. I also don’t understand why a style I set does not override a style pasted in, this seems ludicrous! I’m applying a style because I want to override what exists, OO should let me do this, but it doesn’t. Having battled on with styles and it really is a battle, I’ve come to the conclusion that styles are the weakest part of OO.
