Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81403
The default style should be "Text body" and not "Default"
Last modified: 2007-09-10 09:24:17 UTC
When users write text documents, the paragraph's style that they need to use is "text body". Why not "Default"? Because "Default" is the root style and that every style inherit from it. Here is a typical use case: a user does not know styles when he starts writing the document. He does not now title styles, so he sets the title using "hard" formatting (setect the text and sets fonts, bold... mannually). Then he discovers styles. He firtly sets the titles with styles. Then he wants to change the background color of all the text paragraphs but not the titles. As the text paragraphs are by default "Default", if he changes the bg color, even the bg color of the titles will change which is annoying ("Default" is the root, and thus the parent of all the titles). If the default style is "Text body", everything would work like a charm.
