--- Comment #22 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Trying to summarize:

   + AutoCorrect's "Replace while modifying existing text" works only for 
     Default style (bug 59034)
   + issue is that "Apply" changes the PS to Text Body (does not happen while
     typing); if nothing is selected, Apply affects all text
   + "Apply and Edit Changes" changes the PS but is not taken into track
changes

   + do not force the conversion at all but OTOH handy yet undocumented 
     feature (Stuart)
   + promoting a styles-based approach, and makes it "easy" to get rid of 
     unstyled (default) paragraphs (Seth)
   + "[T] Apply Styles" not working on typing (Seth)
   + 'Replace Custom Styles' has some interesting behavior as well (Stuart)
     + unclear how this relates to used templates
     + "replace custom styles" option in AutoCorrect needs critical 
        review (bug 140024)

I don't think a "style my document" function is desired. In particular without
a chance to follow the modification due to missing TC support. Could be fixed,
of course.

But simple step forward could be to rename the unclear caption to "Change
'Default Paragraph Style' to 'Text Body'". We should also at least check on
Apply whether this option is enabled.

Removing UX to get this into production.
