A reasonable suggestion
not reasonable at all from my point of view.
I have to edit a collection of essays once a yr. styles are
invaluable.
if hitting a line return changed styles, the work would be very
difficult.
suppose I have a long quotation with indents and containing several
paragraphs. I want the line returns to preserve formatting.
if I want to drop out of a style I either change the style (some of
them I have tied to key combinations) or hit 'clear formatting.'
You've already told us that you do not intend to learn styles. There is no
need to give us more proof that you don't know how to use them.
Followed by an /ad hominem response
well, wrong tone, we should be civil, but ...; well, anyway, what I'd
like to know since I never did more elaborate than write papers in
WordPerfect (not requiring much formatting) is how does one format
across large documents?
suppose I decide that all paragraphs with a certain indentation should
also be in italics; I can simply change the style for indented
paragraphs of that sort and the change should replicate through the
document.
what is the facility in WP for that? I think it uses some kind of
template? law offices used to use it and they have elaborate
requirements.
forgive me for not looking but WP people would know right away.
