            Bug ID: 140024
           Summary: "replace custom styles" option in AutoCorrect needs
                    critical review
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

1. Apply some Custom paragraph styles to text in a document.
2. Select "Replace Custom Styles" in Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options
- Options tab.
3. Run "Tools > AutoCorrect > Apply

In general, Custom Styles are replaced by this command with "Text Body" PS

Exceptions: 

1. Have been able to get custom styles converted to:
 - Text Body Indent  (when "Before text indent" attribute is used)
 - Hanging Indent    (when "First line indent" and "Before text indent" used)
 - First Line Indent (when "First line indent" is used)

2.  Paragraph Style with four-sided border was NOT converted.

Have made some modifications in relation to observed behavior. Can
documentation be improved further? 

Does command work as intended?
