Applying modified styles in Abiword 2.86

Hi,

If you modify a style such as Heading 1 or Normal and then apply the
same, it only affects the currently selected text. In order to make
the changes document-wide, you have to manually select all relevant
paragraphs/instances of the style and apply the revised style.

From examining the .abw file in a text editor, I noticed that Abiword
seems to define the style every time that it is applied in a file
rather than doing so once at the top of the file as is the case with
CSS stylesheets and the like (this is more like using <span> tags in
the HTML body). That's probably why this happens.

Right now, the only way I could figure out to speed up things was to
open the .abw in a text editor and use find and replace to modify the
changed properties across the document.

It would be great if Abiword would apply a modified style across the document.
