Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102289
Pasting content of colliding styles
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
So, if some content in a source document is in a particular style (say numbered with a list style X) and pasted into a destination document which has a style of the same name then we (quite rightly) leave the destination document style alone. We set the new content to be of the style X, but if the destination style is of different formatting then we have to ability to retain the formatting of the original if we so wish. I can't see a feature request for something like an optional "keep source formatting" in paste special or anything like that, but this must have come up before. A sample .odt to paste from and paste into to show the situation where this is most painful
Created attachment 62569 [details] paste from example
Created attachment 62570 [details] example to paste into
Could be for the colliding styles case of: a) "use dest style and add direct formatting diff to source style" or b) "create a new style and use it" a sounds neater.
