This is the normal behavior for clear format. Try ctrl+shift+space in
OpenOffice or
MS Word -- it always leaves the font style intact, only effects alignment,
colors,
bold/italic/underlined, etc.

I will check with OpenOffice later. ctrl+shift+space does not work in my MS
Office
2003. When I select 'Clear Formatting' in Word it clears the style as well.

in Office it's ctrl+space. The 'Clear Formatting' in Office is a type of font
style,
same thing as 'Normal'.

I'm not implying that we have to copy the functionality from MS Word, all the
more so
that this button does not have a counterpart on Word's toolbar. It's just an
observation. It is a usability issue. We can decide whether text style IS or IS
NOT
part of text formatting ourselves. Personally, I think it is.
(from my little research on MS Word) The 'Clear Formatting' is not a type of
font
style, it's just a button. 'Normal', however, is and it can be changed to
anything.
There are (at least) two ways for removing formatting in MS Word:
1. CTRL + SPACE - they call it "Remove manual character formatting". I don't
believe
that this function has a corresponding button on the toolbar. It does not reset
the
style.
2. 'Clear Formatting' - does what the latter does plus clears the text style as
well.
It has some sort of a button on the toolbar hidden under the "Styles and
Formatting"
combo.

In "Clear Formatting" (in Word and OpenOffice in Font Styles drop-down) "Clear"
is an
adjective not a verb which makes it a font style, not a function.
Probably it would make sense to rename the our "Clear Formatting" button into
"Remove
manual character formatting", because it corresponds to CTRL+[SHIFT+]SPACE and
rename
"Normal" font style to "Clear Formatting". This way it'll look like both Word
and
OpenOffice and we won't have to recode anything.
