Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57296
Character style not available in impress
Last modified: 2008-04-24 19:05:29 UTC
It would be useful to be able to define a number of character styles for a presentation.
Reassigned.
i would particularly welcome this functional addition in order to get far better presentation-level handling of things like consistent hyperlink colours...at the moment, it seems backwards having to either manually recolour each hyperlink, or setting the entire OpenOffice suite's link appearance in the preferences. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=204541#204541
I fully agree, impress can do a bunch of text formatting but its style support sucks. It does not have paragraph styles either, only some hardcoded styles applied to the whole text of text-boxes ! One can use style by inserting a OOo-text object but styles are not shared between them (and it makes editing way more painfull). Presentations are not only used as "one shot" eye catching things, their consistency is also important for some people! I will probably keep using latex-beamer for a while just to get nice, consistent presentations, even if impress works pretty well otherwise :/
Seconded. Not having character styles is a BIG omission. I produce a lot of training materials for Impress and maintaining consistent styles is a pain. Also, not having character and paragraph styles undermines the statement that OOo is a single, consistent program instead of a conglomeration of loose tools, like MSO is (or must I say, was?).
The lack of character styles or the ability to easily copy and paste character formating is a significantly impacting weakness, especially when it comes to polishing the elements of a bulleted list, by "highlighting" key words.
