Since the removal of 'Font', 'Size', and 'Alignment' went into effect with bug 81132, we now have a line spacing drop down added to the toolbar with bug 83076, as well as the addition of the strike through, superscript and subscript found in the 'Style' submenu also in the toolbar. So its useful to remove the 'Style' and 'Line Spacing' entries from Writer. As bug 81132 only removed some of these direct formatting entries from Writer, it would be good to remove all of these entries from the other modules as well.
I also believe that 'Change Case' should also be removed.

(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #3) > Good to you anyway… Where is the agreement? Or at least you data-driven > design… All the arguments were provided in bug 81132 and the reasoning for leaving the style and line spacing entries were that these didnt have toolbar entries at that time and the gradual reduction of these entries would give time for users to get used to it. I will be submitting a patch for 4.4 for the removal of the same three entries removed in bug 81132 to be removed from other modules, so it is a consistent change across LO.
The alternative solution would be to create a direct formatting submenu that would contain all of these entries. Paste Special > - separator - Direct Formatting > Font Name (this would still be broken if it is to be kept - bug 34085) Font Size Font Format Text Alignment Line Spacing - separator - Clear Direct Formatting Maybe the font name issue could be solved by only listing a limited set of font names and the fonts used in the current document.
