Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 50013
Named character styles should be also available in the Presentation application
Last modified: 2008-04-24 19:03:47 UTC
When I first saw character styles in the Writer application, I was delighted to use this also for my slides. Unfortunately, this fantastic feature is missing from the Presentation application. What's the fundamental difference of a text box in Writer and a text box in Impress? Why are there two different editing and rendering engines? Are there, or is only the menu item missing?
You do not mean the stylist in Draw/Impress, to be called with F11?
I exactly mean the stylist, which is called with F11. The summary line should have been "Named character styles...". Yes, it would be great to have named character styles in a presentation. I always use rich formatting on slides to make it more easy for the listener to match corresponding entities by using the same color/formatting for words or phrases dealing with the same thing. Since the number of colors, which can easily be distinguished from each other, is limited, it's sometimes necessary to change the formatting-meaning associations. Without named styles, one has the rework all previous slides to fix the formatting with the risk of introducing errors.
Changed the summary and reassigned.
it looks much like #57296 which has been ignored for a while as well (but at least it reached the "NEW" status).
I think, that this is duplicate to issue 19340. I'm going to close it. Please move your votes; unfortunately it cannot be done automatically. If you disagree, please explain the difference. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 19340 ***
