--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
We have a similar discussion for Impress (bug 124764) where it's not so clear
which master slide should be used when copying a slide. The same is true in
Writer: you may want to override the existing style, eg. Heading, with what you
paste but similarly you want to keep the target's style (see bug 98381). 

Ideally we have options in paste special, a) override target styles, b)
override source styles, and c) add new styles. H1s (Heading 1 from source) with
serif font pasted in H1t with sans serif makes a) H1 = serif (changing
everything in this document that relates to H1), b) changes the source from
serif to sans when pasted, and c) creates a "Heading 1_1". Today we do a) when
the document is new and b) if it contains content.

An elaborated UI blocks the workflow and wouldn't be not a good option in my
opinion. Another bad alternative is to have an undo stack (paste does insert
text then apply style then direct formatting, or the like)- also not a good
solution as very intransparent to the user.
