Description Eyal Rozenberg 2022-12-23 14:20:16 UTC
Impress has objects contains multi-paragraph text. These paragraphs have individual settings of alignment, direction, line spacing, space before/after, etc. - but there are no Paragraph Styles - in the same or similar sense as those of LO Writer - which we can apply to them. At least, the is no UI for adding such styles.

As Regina Henschel indicated in the discussion on bug 40871, comment 14 - the ODF spec _does_ support paragraph styles in presentation; and MS Powerpoint presents such presentations correctly.

These styles should be fully supported in LO Impress/Draw.

Regina had indicated that ODF already supports these (see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40871#c14).

Correct. These settings (well, nearly all) are stored in outline styles Outline 1 - Outline 9, with inheritance for some attributes.

I would say that is due to the design of Impress, where Outline styles are bound to Outline frames, and part of the Master Slide, and the use on a slide depends on the chosen Layout (on top of the Master slide).

As an extra feature, why not.

Hi,

Attached a presentation showing how you can use/create 'paragraph' styles in Impress/Draw.

I would love to understand what people think they will use paragraph styles for, assuming they make use the formatting/styles concept that our presentation module offers of course :p 

thanks :)
