Description: Ability to Edit Table Style from Insert Table dialog Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. CTRL+F12 (or Menu -> Table -> Insert Table) Actual Results: You can select a table style, but you can't create a new style or modify the existing style Expected Results: * It makes sense of being able to create/modify the table style before insertion of the table, for the people who know in advance what the want. However the Insert Table dialog doesn't allow this, so this introduces a disturbing this workflow. * You can't access AutoFormat Styles Dialog either, because it pre-requisites a table. * It's also proposed to remove AutoFormat Styles Dialog, which makes moving Edit Style to Insert Table sensible * It would give Insert Table dialog an indirectly a Style Manager function. Not really problematic I think, but worth noting I admit, it's little bit tricky though, because modifying a Table Style within Insert Table, isn't specific to the New Table. It will also affect existing tables with that style applied.

Don't think we should to mix two workflows into one dialog. Insert is insert and edit is edit. => -1
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1) > Don't think we should to mix two workflows into one dialog. Insert is insert > and edit is edit. => -1 I surely grasp your principle However I think this being to simplistic Having to go to different dialog for modifying/creating a style prior to insertion is also topsy-turvy. So you open the insert table dialog, want to insert a table. Realize the proper style isn't available. Having the close the Insert Table dialog to go to some other dialog to being able to add the style. Or inserting a table without formatting, to do it later on. The latter defies the point of having the ability to select a style in the first place The alternative would be removing the Table Styles picker from the Insert Table dialog, and act similar to Impress

No strong preference from my side. Removal makes sense for cross-application consistency
