The wyswyg preview of fonts in the fonts menu has been a tremendous enhancement.

Please could we now have the same for the various menus offering styles viz:

1. the drop down styles menu in the toolbars (labelled as 'apply style' in the customise dialogue).
2. the 'Styles and Formatting' floating pallet.
3. 'Styles and Formatting' in the sidebar.

Live updating of changes made to styles would be the ideal.


This enhancement would greatly facilitate the formatting of documents and the overall user experience. 

It would also remove one of the most visible areas where the commercial competition currently enjoys a significant advantage over AOO.

Thank you.

DUPLICATE of issue 28936.
Preview in Stylist is the better option.
