Two ideas

Post by BuffyBot »

Replace Style

This would allow a user to overwrite one style with another, in a situation where a user didn’t want a style to convert to normal by simply deleting it. (e.g., convert all H3 paragraphs to H2 paragraphs before deleting the H3 style)


Custom link as menu item

Now that Atlantis has customizable menus, it would be very useful be able to add a custom URL or two to the menu that would trigger a website of our choice. (e.g., to be able to add a link like www.thefreedictionary.com or a translation site or other word-processing oriented sites)

About styles.

Let’s suppose that your document contains many paragraphs formatted with “Heading 3”. If you want to format these paragraphs with “Heading 2”, you could choose “Format | Style...”, and change the base style for “Heading 3” to “Heading 2” (ie specify that “Heading 2” is the base style for “Heading 3”). This can be done through the “Format | Style, Modify” dialog. Alternatively Drag & Drop can be used in the “Format | Style” dialog: simply capture the “Heading 3” style with the mouse, then drop it onto the “Heading 2” style.

Then close the “Format | Style” dialog. Then open it again, and delete the “Heading 3” style. All the paragraphs initially formatted with “Heading 3”, would be automatically associated with the base style of the obsolete “Heading 3” style (ie with "Heading 2").

Thanks for explaining this.
