<pre>Description:
Styles fail to import correctly from Word (and are utterly broken)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load attached .docx file into Microsoft Word
Note that there are two user-created styles: 24-pt-y-nada-mas and
9-pt-y-nada-mas. The whole point of styles, which was apparently not understood
when you tried to implement them, is to give the user the ability to
mass-change some attributes while not changing others. To see this at work in
Word:
2. select all the text and apply each of the styles
observe: 24-pt changes all characters to 24-pt and leaves their other
attributes alone. 9-pt changes all characters to 9-pt and leaves their other
attributes alone.
3. try this in Libre Writer
results: the two styles are shown in styles and formatting but they do nothing.
So that's the nominal topic of this report - Writer can't deal with Word
styles, but more importantly, you can't create such a style from scratch (or
least I was unable to do so in Calc - this is the first time I've tried to use
Writer)
Actual Results:
import of styles fails
Expected Results:
should work - and styles should behave like styles - why even use the name
otherwise?
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
