--- Comment #4 from Regina Henschel <rb.hensc...@t-online.de> --- A chart is a document of its own. It could be embedded in a Writer/Calc/Draw/Impress-document, but it need to be embedded. It could be an external resource as well, at least from point of ODF. What you get with a single click on a chart is not the chart itself, but a frame holding the link-information to the chart. This frame can hold an image of the chart as well and this frame can have an own text content. Text formatting is always only active, if you are in edit mode of a text. If you have made a single click on a chart and then press F2, you are in text edit mode of the frame and you can enter text and then you have text formatting for that text. So the expectation is wrong, that a text formatting toolbar should be active when you click on a chart. The same chart document can be used in different Writer/Calc/Draw/Impress-documents, at least ODF allows it. So any kind of relation to information of the carrying document is only meaningful, if you restrict it to cases, where the chart document is embedded. Current implementation of chart documents do not use styles at all, but all formatting is done as direct formatting. The styles.xml file inside the chart document is a dummy file. Therefore before thinking about how to get a style information from the carrying document to the chart document, I would focus on implementing of styles inside chart documents. If this bug is kept as request for a back-reference to the styles of the carrying document, it needs a dependency to bug 62925. That is the bug that handles the requests for implementing styles in chart documents. Eyal, are you sure you want such back-reference or does not already bug 62925 and its duplicates cover your request of being able to use styles in chart documents? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
