Martin,
This is exactly what I had in mind a way back when we took a look
at the MSWord implementation of lists and how it differed. Nice to
see this all coming together and getting cleaned up/worked out again.
With regards to the dialog. Your suggestions sound good, will they
be build on the basis of what we were working on before Christmas? I
still think that a modal version might be easier for the users ... but
if you implement the non-modal version we were discussing then that
would be fine as well.
Thomas ... a follower in this case.
