Description: I opened an rtf file in LibreOffice Writer and was successful in modifying the existing styles of the document (specifically the font size). The version I was using was 5.4.3.2. I decided to use a more recent version (this time in Spanish, and hopefully that wasn't the problem), but found that (using the same rtf file) I could not modify the style successfully (had to select entire paragraphs at a time and double click the modified style). This was using the 6.1 version. Tried it with the two previous versions, and was unsuccessful with both. I had such high hopes for using LibreOffice! Have to teach a course in two weeks to help marginalized groups format, and it doesn't work! UNLESS I use an old version. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open an rtf file with existing styles in Writer 2.Attempt to modify a style by changing the font size 3. Actual Results: The font of the text that should have been changed does not alter at all. The entire text has to be selected and the style dbl clicked in order to make the change. Expected Results: I of course hoped that the text with the modified style would have changed for all of the text with that given style. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Just for clarification: Are you talking about paragraph styles or character styles? Is it possible to add an example-file?

Created attachment 144562 [details] An rtf file exported from paratext, with its own styles Just to note, I had success in modifying the styles (but not the footnotes) in an older version of Writer - 5.4.3.2, but not later versions.
(In reply to Dieter Praas from comment #1) > Just for clarification: Are you talking about paragraph styles or character > styles? > > Is it possible to add an example-file? I added a file. I basically only wanted to change the font sizes. In the older version of writer I did this by modifying the paragraph style, using the side bar (if that makes sense). Side bar icon for style/paragraph/modify, change font size. This method, nor any others, would work with later versions of Writer.
