--- Comment #9 from Colin <colin.rimmer63@gmail.com> ---
Thank you for your suggestion. Find & Replace of Styles may come in handy
somewhere else, but in this instance, the global replacement of ALL styles in
the document (as you suggested) would mean the loss of all style id's - this
means that they would all have to be manually identified and re-assigned. A
search and replace facility would have no scope or relevance, because
identifying what the styles should be is a completely manual and tedious
operation. Consequently I would not pay any heed to your initial suggestion,
because it would make even more work for me.

Due to the fact that I have hundreds of handouts to format if I wish to
exclusively use Libre Office, and because there is no easy way of applying the
format in a particular style to every paragraph that uses that style, it is
impractical for me to adopt Libre Office as my chosen office package. I am
forced to dual boot with Windows in any case because Linux Mint does not
support my two Dell printers. I've tried every which way to find a way around
that, but it's either poorly publicised or is a practical impossibility - can't
even install the usual printer drivers in Wine, and that supposed to emulate
Windows.

I have found that lack of support and lack of readiness of Linux software apps
puts serious limitations on new user's prospects of making a clean break to
Linux.
