Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 24443
change button name of style catalog: ok -> apply
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:59 UTC
Hi, I'd like to see the "ok" button in the style catalog dialog called "apply". reasons: (1) Everything is ok as far as you use the style catalog to select a new style of your actual paragraph. In this case you keep in mind that clicking "ok" would change the style of the selected paragraph. (2) But if you use the style catalog to *modify" paragraph's styles (especially if you modify styles which you *just* *want* *to* *modify* *but* *not* *apply* to the current selected paragraph -> then clicking "ok" is wrong but "close" is the right choice (since you don't want to apply the modified style to the selected paragraph). Few people will in this case keep in mind the difference between "ok" and "close". So please, rename the "ok" button "apply" which is a better choise even in case 1 (see above). Thanks
