Allow author to apply a different style to captions
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:40:44 UTC
The frame captions have the "text" style. There is no special style attached to them by default. As result, it is difficult to apply a different style to them. For example, if I wanted the captions of all NEW frames to be bold, centralized, how do I do that? Another example: If I want to change the formatting of ALL the frames I have inserted so far, how do I do that in one stroke (without having to select each frame one by one and changing its style?)
Reassigned to requirements.
well you can create a style yourself and apply it to the caption, can't you (there is the problem that you can't seperate the category label from the caption text)? And there is the Options menu in the frame caption dilaogue where you can select a character style.
Raindrops -> Lars. This issue is NOT about applying a user-defined style to caption. Even if I create a user-defined style for captions, it does NOT solve the second problem I described: whenever I create new frames, I will have to apply the style to each frame's caption individually. In other words, if I apply a general style to a caption, it is not inherited automatically for new frames. For that, it should be made part of the frame's definition. To be specific- 1. The caption's font+paragraph style should be defined in the default definition of frames. 2. Let the user modify this style if he wants. When the style is modified, ALL the frames will automatically get updated; and after that when the user inserts a new frame, its caption will automatically inherit the new style.
