            Bug ID: 140544
           Summary: Writer paragraph styles "Letter" may be more
                    efficiently grouped in a new hierarchy.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cpmonger at myfairpoint.net

Description:
LibraOffice Writer paragraph styles type "Letter" may be more efficiently
grouped in a new hierarchy. Global low-level and high-level styles are
currently intermixed. Letter styles may only be used by a few users, and are a
distraction. Most other style types are grouped.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibraOffice Writer
2. Open Manage Styles (F11)
3. Select Paragraphs
4. Pull-down (select) Hierarchical view

Actual Results:
Manage Styles -- Paragraph shows lowest-level 'letter' styles sprinkled among
high-level hierarchical root styles such as "Headings" and "Text Body"

Expected Results:
Low-level and high-level styles are intermixed. Letter styles may only be used
by a few users.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Proposed enhancement meta-description:

1. Create paragraph style level-02 "Letter" hierarchy under level-01 "Default
Paragraph Style".

2. Move the existing 'letter' paragraph styles to "Letter" subordinate level-03
styles:
"Addressee"
"Complimentary Close"
"Sender"
"Signature"

3. Consider adding the following paragraph styles:
"Letter Head" (often needed for business; may include embedded logo)
"Letter Date" (often a separate line, often right-justified)
"Letter Subject" (next paragraph" "Letter Body"; meta-data field?)
"Salutation" (next paragraph" "Letter Body")
"Letter Body" (separate from "Text Body", to include numbering by default?)
"Letter Body Indent" (optional, but useful)
"cc", "bcc", and/or "cf" (may be concatenated as: "Letter Copy To")

4. Consider changing the following paragraph style names:
"Addressee" (change to "Address To"?; modern, explicit, mimics email
convention)
"Sender" (change to "Address From"?; modern, explicit, mimics email convention)

5. Review all 'letter' paragraph styles for 'next paragraph' sequential linking

6. Consider external dependencies to databases and bibliographies, etc.

7. Related to separate issue re creating non-taggable 'root' paragraph styles
(indicated in light gray) such as: "Graphics", "Headings", "Letter", "Table
Body" (note table "Table" style"), "Text Body", etc.
