Re: [libreoffice-users] Tab defaults change when pasting into Writer from some other applications

The moment you think "this doesn't look right to me" is the moment that 
styles pays off.

Our unique visual look at the world is just what styles is all about.

When someone receives your document, there will be little questions that 
it is yours.

Not something you don't already know, but very important to the world 
around you.

So, it begs the question, when you are using Writer, should there be a 
menu item that asks "Change this style permanently?" so the your world 
grows instead of trying to predetermine everything?
