Description bsander 2004-12-20 23:46:53 UTC 
I want to create my own base template from scratch and therefore remove most of
the _many_ predifined styles and recreate only the ones that I need. For
instance header 1 up to 10 is a little bit too much for my uses and it only
clutters the stylist.

However, the writer doesn't allow for me to remove any of the predefined styles
so I can't clean the list up. I'd really appreciate it if this could be made
possible! Thanks.

No, I am sorry. The pool of predefined Styles will always be available. These
styles are all hardly connected to the Writer application and only saved in a
document, when they are changed. This feature enhancement would cost to much
development resources for a very small gain in functionality.
If you want a kind of cleared list, change the view optin at the bottom of the
Stylist from "Automatic" to "Custom styles".

Setting this to WONTFIX is a SERIOUS oversight.

We can NOT roll out OOo to a number of Enterprise clients because the great
number of default styles provided can not be deleted.

Many of these Enterprises want a very small number of styles in the templates
they use in order to make it VERY simple for their users to pick the correct
style . . .

Reassigning to requirements, so that the possibility to delete the predefined
styles will somehow be added.
