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.
You have not assigned to yourself for solving it. So someone else must set up as 'new' And IMO it's a request for enhancement.
(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #1) > You have not assigned to yourself for solving it. ... hence it's not "ASSIGNED". > So someone else must set up as 'new' It's a split-up of a NEW issue for both CS and PS, both of which were recognized as desirable - so, two NEW bugs. Other bugs - Slide style, Table styles - are UNCONFIRMED. > And IMO it's a request for enhancement. For PS - It isn't, since it's an existing ODF feature, which PowerPoint supports, so it's just missing, not just that it would be better to have it.

Yes, as it is inherited from bug 40871 the status can be NEW right away.
Regina had indicated that ODF already supports these (see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40871#c14).

These settings (well, nearly all) are stored in outline styles Outline 1 - Outline 9, with inheritance for some attributes. > 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. 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 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. As an extra feature, why not.
Created attachment 195366 [details] presentation with custom 'paragraph' styles used on fist slide 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 :)

(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #8) Sorry, I missed that comment. > Attached a presentation showing how you can use/create 'paragraph' styles in > Impress/Draw. Cor, this bug is about styles of _paragraphs_, not of drawing objects. When you set a drawing object style, it affects all paragraph entire object. > I would love to understand what people think they will use paragraph styles > for, Most of the ways they use paragraph styles for in Writer (and especially in boxes within Writer) - to style paragraph-level features like direction, indentation, vertical margins and spacing, etc. > assuming they make use the formatting/styles concept that our > presentation module offers of course :p Those definitely include paragraph-level direct formatting.

Where are the paragraphs and paragraph markers in an object, Eyal? > Most of the ways they use paragraph styles for in Writer (and especially in > boxes within Writer) - to style paragraph-level features like direction, > indentation, vertical margins and spacing, etc. That sounds as a use case where there is a lot of text in shapes in a draw file. Do you use Draw in such a way, with so many text - much more than a two pager - that you miss Writers outstanding features, Eyal? If so, have you compared that work flow to one the other way round? What I do appreciate personally as very useful for Draw, is that text can be set to adapt to the size of the text boxes. So.. while we could adapt the idea of paragraph styles in Draw, I'm still not seeing it as more than a theoretical use case..

Theoretical? It's used on almost all Impress presentations - when we have bulleted lists of items. Each list item is a paragraph (or multiple paragraphs if you backspace to remove the bullet). There's also the use of case of a long quotation from some source in a text box + commentary using balloons or a separate region of the slide (bottom/side), typically with animation.

Sorry, I mean they are not visible clear as in Writer. When you seen multiple lines with breaks, it can still be one paragraph. > > That sounds as a use case where there is a lot of text in shapes in a draw > > file. > > "A lot of text" = multiple paragraphs. > > > Do you use Draw in such a way, with so many text - much more than a two > > pager > > All text in an Impress/Draw object fits within a single page, by definition. My point is: if there's a lot of text editing, take the text editor, which luckily also very well supports images, shapes and other objects. > > I'm still not seeing it as more than a theoretical use case.. > > Theoretical?

Yes the outlines do have styles. > There's also the use of case of a long quotation from some source in a text > box + commentary using balloons or a separate region of the slide > (bottom/side), typically with animation. I agree, but in the cases I know, that's not demanding many text style management.

Nobody said there's a lot of text _editing_. Just that the text has multiple paragraphs on a page. But even if you took the text editor - great, you've edited the text, and now you want to move your edited text to a presentation and work on how it's presented. That includes working with paragraph styles. > > There's also the use of case of a long quotation from some source in a text > > box + commentary using balloons or a separate region of the slide > > (bottom/side), typically with animation. > I agree, but in the cases I know, that's not demanding many text style > management. But of course they do - for the same reason as in Writer: Blockquotes, headings, item categorization (bad/mediocre/good , important/unimportant), etc. etc.
