I see at least 2 cases... 1. For example, if you want to increase proportionally the size of the styles Heading 1 and Heading 2, you can edit "Heading". Still need to know that these styles depend on that. The legacy would be less obvious with custom styles if you do not display this information. </blockquote> </blockquote> I would recommend using hierarchal view of the Styles and Formatting dialog for knowing which style is based on what. I don't really consider Heading showing up when using one of the Heading X styles as obvious, at best I'd call it a hint. <blockquote cite="mid:1919628764.798460.1354109588140.JavaMail.www@wwinf8312" type="cite"> <blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #ff0000"> 2. A paragraph style ("Test" for instance) is defined with a numbering style ("List 3" for instance). Currently "Applied styles" shows "List 3" as used, even if the paragraph style "Test" is not used. It does not seem to be any other way of knowing, except of course browse through all paragraph styles </blockquote> </blockquote> Sorry I got snowed in on Paragraph styles and what shows up in the "Apply Style" combo box in the Formatting toolbar, which seems to add all applied paragraph styles. You make a good case for leaving Applied Styles in the Styles and Formatting dialog as it is. /Niklas </body> </html>
