Adding needsUXEval, maybe the UX team find a better name. How about "Style"? Or just remove the button/feature. Hm, I wouldn't mind it's making with our popular style feature for paragraphs, lists, etc. but it saves some kind of style too. I prefer "formatting" but in combination with "save" it's too long.

Yes, to load an outline-style, click on its name in the list. So the choice is between "Format" and "Style" ? Which one explains better (?) what it does.. (In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #7) > So the choice is between "Format" and "Style" ? > Which one explains better (?) what it does.. Template, Preset, User-defined... there are some more options.

That is the essence of that feature. This is a good idea and better than 'Format(ting)' or 'Style' which I don't like. But is in HIG a noun required for a button naming like this? Load/Save is explaining best what it does, IMO So let's go with Load/Save (without ellipsis). Taking... heiko tietze committed a patch related to this issue.
