LO 7.4
One lesson I learned in regard of Clear Direct Formatting functionality:
For this function to work the direct formatting has to be - for given formatting scope - on top of whole stack of format modifications.
The view top-bottom translates to time line of formatting modifications.
E.g. following time sequence of user handling
- modify paragraph formatting from paragraph contextual menu > Paragraph > Paragraph…
- modify paragraph style used in same paragraph
- try to clear direct formatting
Results:
The function Clear Direct Formatting can’t reach paragraph’s direct formatting in order to clear it as latter one is covered by paragraph style.
Only if direct formatting was conducted as last formatting modification in whole format modifications sequence, the Clear Direct Formatting function can complete its job successfully.
