Re: [libreoffice-design] Mouse click actions on Styles and Format window

Hi, Christoph, all. I agree with what you said, except the following, and  
I want to point out some examples.

When writing an interview script I create styles that are named after each  
of the characters in it in different colors.

When writing a play script I want to have styles named "location",  
"time-of-day", "dialog", etc. with different alignments and indentations.

When creating an personal calendar I use styles named "personal",  
"meeting", "high priority", "work", "done", with different colors, font  
weight, or even bullets (e. g., using a check mark for "done").

When writing an interview questionnaire I want styles like "question" and  
"answer", where each are in a different color or font attributes and  
"question" is set to have "Next Paragraph: answer".

Those are all real examples I use or have used, except the second one.
