<pre>If you work with styles the copy/paste operation will not override in Writer.
Workflow:
* Insert some dummy text, apply a style and change it to something else (eg
font color red)
* Create another document, do the same as before but don't change the style
* Copy/paste from one into the other document
=> the document style is preserved (meaning the red font color is lost in one
way or adopted in the other), and that's good, at least for Writer.
There is a similar request for Impress in <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - Master slide incorrectly applied to pasted slide from a different presentation if the master slides have the same names (sometimes, not consistent)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=112697">bug 112697</a> (and the duplicate bug
79928) where the situation is not so clear. What template (slide background
color/image, indentation of bullets etc.) should be used for copy/paste
operations? The source means you add another master or the target and you
change the copied objects. Ideally we get a Paste Special option.
Back to the topic, when you paste special in Writer per "Without Style" it's
the same as "Unformatted Text" and the opposite "Adopt Style" (or whatever we
call this option) it changes all your document as the inserted style is taken.
Don't think it's useful this way. Could you provide a use case like "I copy
<foo> from <bar> and paste at <baz> expecting <qux>?</pre>
