Description uk_sharpless 2006-04-05 00:03:51 UTC 
_Type_ is *re-placement* of feature, actually! 

I come here instead of StarOffice Site - apparently useless. 

I am very dismayed to see the scrapping of the Style catalogue -- a
long-standing, excellent featrue, I submit and one thing lost that we had come
to rely on! 

PLEASE PUT THIS BACK, URGENTLY. 

Reason: 
Many people must have come to use this by strong habit, and now they are
thwarted in this; the Stylist works differently. 

I am sorry: This seems most like Microsoftian bullying (dictating how we do
things now, after Stardivision had established a wonderful design)!

The style catalog could still be reached - via Ctrl-F11.

MRU->ES: is it "specced" somewhere, that it has been removed from the menu?

Th style catalog is gone due to:

http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/formatting/Assigning_Styles_in_Writer.sxw

Line 176: "Future of the modal dialog “Style Catalog†is unclear"

Because all the functions it used to have have been grouped in the Stylist or in
"File - Templates - Organize"

ES->Requirements:
I don't see any valuable reason to have this dialog back (redundant with other
existing functions and as noticed, this is a *modal* dialog blocking user input
to all other windows in the program and especially the document).

On the other hand, the spec didn't clearly give a statment on this.

In cas we cancel this dialog, we should also remove its shortcut (Ctrl+F11).
