What do you do if most every document you create with your word processor (WP) is in a different "style," & you don't know its

creating documents & written articles in many & varied formats. To address the responder of my initial posting, let me say: I've invested
a lot of time in trying to become proficient in Writer "styles" w/o much success. Also, I bought every reference I could find on 'Writer,'
but still couldn't get that Writer WP to produce the documents I needed in the format I wanted. What is more, when I was required to re-edit a
Writer document at a later time, I found the re-editing often undid all the formatting I thought I had built into the Writer document. I don't mind
investing in computer programming technology that serves my needs. (For a "selfie" "aside," I started in the computer business
in 1961, & was, at
various times, fluent in 7 ea. different computer languages. So I know what it means to "invest" one's time
& effort to acquire proficiency w/ a particular software product.) I decided w/ Writer that I wasn't making
progress getting my work done. Therefore, I decided to invest my time & eanergy elsewhere. In consistency w/ my
previous experience, I chose to invest my time & energy in the so-called "tried & true"--in this
case MS Word. My priority has always been on getting my work done efficiently, & not on learning to become
proficient w/ any particular software product.

As I mentioned before, I have given up on OO and LO becasue of the style
problem. However, it occurs to me that the style problem could be easily fixed
(by the devs) if there was a simple
bypass arrangement that could be invoked when you want to evade the style
momentarily--say ALT-F12 or something like that, which would allow you to type
whatever you want, where you want it.
It could be set to remain in force until the end of line, or perhaps until the
end of paragraph. Or perhaps both options--say, one under F11 and the other
under F12.
