Description csongor 2023-10-31 18:40:22 UTC
I would like to apply different formatting to certain words of a paragraph. For example, in the following sentence, I would like to format the three commands differently than the rest of the sentence. 

"The cd, mkdir and rmdir commands operate on directories."

Unfortunately, Impress doesn't support character styles as nicely as Writer does. Therefore, formatting different items identically is difficult.

It would be nice if I could, at least, select multiple texts on a slide and format them together. I can do this in Write by holding Ctrl while I select the newer and newer texts. In Impress, I cannot do this.

The problem it's the same as in Writer, because in Impress you have the text in a text box, and in Writer text boxes doesn't accept multiple selection.

If you agree, I change the title, and ask for enhancement.

OK, it makes sense, thank you.
