Re: [libreoffice-users] Why does writer create automatic styles for every new element?

       A simple solution - my method - is to merely type whatever then add
whatever options as I go along;
            this saves time in that I know what's what.

       If you set these templates, then decide that the title should be
smaller, or wish to set off some quote, or add some footnote, ... ... ...
then you're stuck with whatever the template wants.

       I basically did/do the same thing when writing HTML - in fact, now,
I have quite a lengthy page of HTML code which I apply whenever necessary -
sure saves time having to remember what's what.

       Just some thoughts from the KIS corner  ;-)
