I think I do understand the problem about the template's styles in relation to the document... - - - - you can skip this // Normally you would expect that changing the template's styles will come to effect in the document's styles.. once you reopen it.. but then again... if you have changed the styles within the document, and you change the styles in the template (intentionally or unknowingly, focusing on something else), what should happen? should your intentional changes to the document disappear? or, in the case of an update, what should be kept of it? thanks to the CSS system, however, this all doesn't really matter cause in the end, the point is to have those styles referenced in the document... and the values to each can be altered anytime... BUT then again :) most writers like to see their documents as it will appear as the finished product.. // up to here - - - - So, it looks like there should be a TYPE of the RELATION between the document and the template... which could be set... chosen, opt for.. I could imagine, for example a "direct linking" to a template... and optional.. and a manual TYPE... like: • direct linking (the user couldn't change the styles manually, could define a new one, though, which would right away go into the template; also, every time the popup comes, "wanna upgrade the styles?", she can opt for "do this automatically in the future, only notify me as it's happening") • optional (you can change the document's styles "locally", which is like "inline" in the case of HTML, but get a popup "do you want to update the styles?" whenever the template changes, and then you can opt also for "don't show me this again", which means that the user will take care of it "manually") • manual (like what we have now, basically) ------- IN EITHER CASE... in the document's PROPERTIES "window" @ "Template", not only the template but the type of linking could be indicated.. -------------------------------- a STYLE EDITOR one further step could be a STYLE EDITOR window... which already exists... but it could exist as an independent STYLE EDITING WINDOW... and one could open the STYLES that belong to a TEMPLATE... like "Styles - Edit Styles" (not "Edit style", which we have already).. Edit Styles or "Edit Style Sheet".. or "Edit Linked Style Sheet"... it could be like Navigator... except that it could NOT ONLY open the style sheet linked to the current document... or documents in other windows... but could also open ANY TEMPLATE's style sheet... - - - thank you for developing Libreoffice and Writer! - - -
