As stated in bug 81132 comment 31, there are a number of useful line and font effects that could be included in the context menu's style submenu. Many users open the Font/Character dialog box to get to these useful options, so it would be beneficial to have them in the context menu. Below are stats for each of the proposed additions. Double Underline (.uno:UnderlineDouble): Toolbar : 2% (users are customizing to add this to the toolbar) Shortcut Key : 41% Font Dialog : 57% Usage : Used as often as strike through Embossed & Engraved: Font Dialog : 100% Usage : Used as much as overline So i'd like to propose that the Style submenu appear as follows :- Bold Italics Overline Underline Double Underline Strikethrough - separator - Shadow Outline Embossed Engraved - separator - Superscript Subscript
Sounds fine - marking as NEW

(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #2) > You're talking 'styles' or 'direct formatting' Jay ? The right-click context menu has a 'styles' submenu with direct formatting entries in it. Mirek had suggested in bug 81132 comment 9, ``If the commands under "Style" are kept, the title of that menu should be changed to "Decoration", "Effects", or even "Format", as "Style" should always just refer to our Styles feature.``

Good idea. It's obvious, see my previous comment here, how confusing the current situation is.

Hi Cor, So what should it be changed to: "Decoration", "Effects", or "Format"?
Hi Jay, (In reply to Jay Philips from comment #7) > So what should it be changed to: "Decoration", "Effects", or "Format"? Ah good question :) Let's be consistent with the menu, so I go for 'format' ;)
Closing this as the entry will anyway be removed in master (bug 86606).
The issue was brought up at the design meeting to change the submenu name from 'Style' in 4.4, so lets do go for it. :D Patch - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/13329/
Yousuf Philips committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "libreoffice-4-4": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=d1efbcd788bcd9e72efaaecc110bbd2d48a966eb&h=libreoffice-4-4 fdo#84295 change context menu 'Style' entry to 'Format' It will be available in 4.4.0.0.beta3. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Design team decided to remove styles from the context menu completely starting with 4.5.
