Never heard about that and google doesn't help either. Would you mind to 
explain it a bit more?

I've been meaning to implement something similar with my tool. The button is 
already there, but it doesn't work right now. This is how it is supposed to 
work:

You select the paragraph of text. The tools options docker tells you it's 
a "Header 1" and it provides a checkbox which says "Apply to all paragraphs 
of this style". If you select the checkbox the changes will be applied to 
the style "Header 1" and therefore to all paragraphs with this style. If 
you deselect the checkbox the changes will be applied to the selected 
paragraph.

Did i understand you correctly that this is what you would like to have?

Greetings,
 Florian
