Subject: Re: [office] style name uniqueness

In applications that let the user create custom styles (like OOo) a user might legitimately need to create two styles in different families with the same name. Suppose you're writing a school textbook. The textbook has "warnings", "tips" and "notes". You want these items in boxes (ie. frames) that look distinct. As an author, it would make sense to define Frame styles called Warning, Tip and Note and paragraph styles called Warning, Tip and Note. The Warning paragraph style is meant to be used in the Warning frame style. I know of at one team of authors who is doing this very thing right now. There are ways you could get around this, but I suspect that they are just as much work as what we currently have. Best, Daniel. -- /\/`) http://opendocumentfellowship.org /\/_/ /\/_/ A life?
