--- Comment #10 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed this topic in the design meeting. 

First of all, LibreOffice is not a Microsoft clone. We have different users and
many "inventions" by MS are driven by marketing. Some classic workflows are
just better.

The supposed workflow is using Find & Replace, which is inconvenient/unfamiliar
for some. However, to select paragraphs in order to modify the formatting is
also really not straight-forward and dangerous since the selection could be
overwritten (and this is not a use case).

So the recommendation is to not implement a function to select multiple
paragraphs by their style. However, I'd like to get more input, adding some
experts on this matter.
