I really do get irritated with this argument about styles. Yes, they are the
right way and yes, we should use them all the time. But the real world isn't
like that and a significant proportion, if not majority, of LO users just
don't get styles. Period.

I use styles and have taught their use in offices I've managed for many
years. But for short 1 to 2 page documents it is irrelevant whether users
will be bothered about spending time styling their documents. Please do not
reduce the choice of users to use fonts and direct formatting if they wish,
and do not make it harder for them to do so.

One thing I'd really like to see on our toolbars is a button for pasting as
per edit>paste>special>without formatting. I guess I use this method of
pasting at least as often as the paste button and if we want to educate
users to use styles we do need to give them a way to paste without messing
up their formatting.

David
