I've been using OO for years, and I'm still baffled by Styles.
I'm working on an outline, and wanted only one item - it's a level three item - to appear in bold. Now, when I hit enter and create another item immediately below it (whether level 3 or indented to level 4), it too appears as bold. I don't want that. I want all new items to appear as I have set their styles in the Utility Drawer.
I've tried this with Automatic Level Styles on and off, and it doesn't make a difference. The new level always inherits the attributes of the one preceding it. There HAS to be a way to do this: I just want new items to be created in the styles I've set for the entire document.
How do I do this? And why is OO the only application in the world whose Style approach I still cannot decipher?
