Hi :)
It just occurred to me that after collecting a mix of snippets from
different sources it might be easier to
Ctrl a = select all
and then
Format - "Remove direct formatting"

I usually collect single articles at a time and correct the formatting of
one before moving on to the next.  So for me it's better to do each paste
as a
Ctrl Shift v
to paste as unformatted right from the start.  I guess different work-flows
suit different situations or different folks.


Sadly all my styles are set to be very basic, because that is all i need.
So the document Tim linked to got reduced to a very simplistic layout that
didn't look anything like the original.  I guess if you do this quite a lot
then it might be worth setting up styles that do suit this layout much
better.


We used to have quite passionate arguments/discussions about the 'best' way
of handling different documents.  It was quite amazing that there were so
many different ways, and interesting to see how those suited different
circumstances.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

Follow Dan's advice. Pasting unformatted text only does the same as
typing the text into your preformatted paragraphs.
Everything becomes clear and easy to use when your mind starts
separating data from presentation. Once you got there, using paragraph
styles is just a matter of course and convenience.

Cheers,
A.S.
