Description mahfiaz 2015-06-17 22:59:06 UTC
In Writer paragraph styles can inherit parent sizes or change these by percentage, have size like 95% or 80%.

In Calc this does not work for cell styles.

Hi Mahfiaz,

Thanks for your post.
Your observation is correct.
In Writer this makes real sense, since styles Heading 1 etc, inherit from Heading. So changing one, is a simple way to change all.

What use do you see in Calc?
Cheers,
Cor

The new default styles here https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90937 would have similar use for headings.

For me would be a good request for enhancement.

I think useful to help in promote the use of styles.

Still there in 7.6.2.
Comment 15 Paolo Benvenuto 2026-03-02 20:34:21 UTC
Actually, writer permits absolute relative values, too, like +1 pt, -2pt, I think that it can be part of the bug.
