Sub CleanDF
rem Simple script to clean direct formatting of paragraphs.
rem Note: it does not clean paragraphs in tables or frames
rem -------------------------------------------------------------------
rem define variables
    dim document   as Object
    dim dispatcher as Object
    oParEnum = Thiscomponent.Text.createEnumeration()
    document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
    dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
    dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToStartOfDoc", "", 0, 
Array())
    Do While oParEnum.hasMoreElements()
       oPar = oParEnum.nextElement()
       If oPar.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.Paragraph") Then
          dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToStartOfLine", 
"", 0, Array())
          dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:EndOfParaSel", "", 
0, Array())
          dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ResetAttributes", 
"", 0, Array())
          dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToNextPara", "", 
0, Array())
       End If
    Loop
    msgbox "Done cleaning"
End Sub
rem -------------------------------------------------------------------

     + Food for thought on preparing chapter for publication
        + create an extension with macros for
         - clean direct formatting
         - clean bulleted and number list
         - sanity check of styles: detect non-official styles
             + add comment where it exist, prompt user...
         - extension can add a toolbar or submenu for ease of use
             + can also be part of chapter template
