Description aaronforjesus 2003-09-28 18:13:22 UTC 
This is a request to display styles used by paragraphs in the margin/side of a
document. This allows a document formatter to quickly determine whether a
paragraph has the correct style in a large document without placing the curser
on the paragraph and looking at the toolbar style selector. This is similar to
MS Word's style area that can be displayed when in Normal (not Page Layout)
view, or Interleaf's style margin. Double-clicking (or right-click, Format) on
the style could bring up the Format->Paragraph dialog box. You could also use
the style area to select several paragraphs (similar to Interleaf) in order to
format the paragraph styles with out having to use the curser to select all the
text from several paragraphs. This feature could also be combined with feature
request Issue 19760 by displaying the page break here also.

This is still not y-done, and it is still a very useful feature, whose need hath
not gone away. And it is still not implemented in OOo 2.4.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
