Answer to Comment 29 with several examples and suggestions how to improve
formatting with styles

A tool button acting like *Default Character Style* under Character Styles in
the styles deck would meet the original poster’s objective. If one would
provide such new tool on the formatting tool bar, it should appear in the
pressed state as long as no Character Style is assigned to the current editing
point. This would be consistent with the tools for the bold, italic, underline
etc tools, which appear as pressed when the current text is bold, underlined,
italic etc.

The existing appendices 2 and 4 show examples that will drive a novice to
despair. In this new appendix 5 you find some more examples and considerations
on how to tackle formatting more systematically and expediently. Presently very
cumbersome and error prone things would become much easier with the suggestions
contained in this appendix. 

I have looked up the specifications of odt-files and came to the conclusion
that the underlying data structures allows leaving properties undefined such
that they can be changed later at the inheriting level. It already works with
direct formatting as can be seen from appendix 5 playing with the playgrounds
provided in it.
