This request makes sense to me. 

> 5. I want to change its style to something else.

While we suggest using "search and replace" to change, this function is not
particularly intuitive[1]. Selecting and changing with the usual commandsthat
just affect what is selected builds upon existing knowledge instead.

Most people will have used Word before, so they might be familiar with its
functions[2]. And I guess MS has more resources than we do for usability tests
and getting design ideas implementated, so I would not say that "it’s in MS
word" is a bad take (except for our pride).


[1] Search/Replace: For example, Search/replace for styles does require
understanding the barely signaled modes of the format selection-dialog.
