Sorry, should have known better. Scratch "MS Word Format Painter" from my original post and replace with "Open Office's Format Paintbrush." > Just because most of the > computer using world is used to that way does not mean we should > emulate it. True. Just because some feature is being used by "most of the computer-using world" makes it neither good _nor_ bad (unless we are talking about standards development). To follow up on my original post, when modifying parameters via the Character and Paragraph menus I can already effectively do "format painting": I set the menu to remain on top of all other windows, make my changes, then click "Apply" each time. This does the same thing as a Format Paintbrush. But I don't see how to do this with the LyX environments (section, chapter, paragraph, etc.), at least not in 1.3.5. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
