--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
Looking at that checkbox, I really don't see how a user is supposed to
understand what it does. "Custom Styles" - is that Direct Formatting, or styles
the users has defined and named? If it's the latter - I don't see why these
should be replaced; if it's the former - why call them this?

Also - what kinds of DF would be replaced? And DF of what - characters?
paragraphs? lists? And what will the target of replacement be?

I even went and read the help, where it says:

> Replaces custom paragraph styles applied in the current 
> document to "Text Body", "Text Body Indent", 
> "First Line Indent" or "Hanging Indent" paragraph style. 

I don't understand why these styles, whether they would be modified by the
autocorrect process, and how it would choose among these.

Can someone explain what is the original rationale for this, so that we can
form an opinion of whether to keep or remove?
