ODT style issues

Post by lgsl »

I started a new text document and saved it as ODT.

After I opened it again and tried to edit text styles, even after re-applying the styles to the text the changes are ignored.

If I open that document in LibreOffice the problem persists. I can override the original styling partially. That makes me think the problem is related to the way TextMaker sets the style tags in paragraphs.

If this document is saved as docx or tdmx, the problem persists. Same as opening the ODT with LibreOffice.

I copied all text and pasted it (unformatead) in a new document and styled it all again. I saved it as docx and tdmx. I was able to edit my styles with any problem.

After saving once more as ODT and trying this again to restyle I ended up with the same result.

Opening the DOCX file with LibreOffice and saving it as ODT, and then editing the styles works well. However, once you save the file again with TM the problem comes back.

Any progress?
This issue is also affecting TM beta for Android (already reported)
I'm interested in working exclusively with odt since odt files tend to be smaller thabdocx and tdmx.
