Re: [libreoffice-users] formatting

       That's great ... but it doesn't work that way for me.

       Forinstance, this last presentation I chose the blue border ... and
I always choose the blank slide [although this refuses to remain the
default], ... then I chose the effects, the timing, ... then there's no
place to choose the font for the text.

       Then I added twice the number of slides I figured I'd need [added 50
this time] ... then clicked on 'apply to all'.

       Then I added text to the first slide - the size of the font here
would be different being the header, [I chose papyrus with red] ...
           then I went on to the next slide ... and added the text ... it
was Ariel with black,
           so I 'selected all' & re-chose the font & color ... ditto for
each subsequent slide; each time, I can return to hit the 'apply to all'
... but the text & color do not remain.

       These details are added for you, Dan, although it works/doesn't work
the same no matter what other styles I've chosen, either initially or as I
add the new slides.

       Andrew, I think you're the only one who understands to what I'm
referring; thanks.
