------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 1 12:35:53 -0800 2005 ------- In OOo 1.1 writer/HTML editor, a user clicks Insert -> Horizontal ruler -> Plain -> OK to insert a plain horizontal ruler in the document. To change it's color, line style, width etc a user needs to click Format -> Paragraph -> Borders and then select the relevant options from there. This approach assumes that - Plain Horizontal Line = Paragraph Border (??!!) This kind of assumption is really confusing for a new user. Here are few suggestions to improve it - (1) A Horizontal Line = Horizontal Line, whether it is a plain or graphical. Don't assume Plain Horizontal Line = Paragraph Border [You will do a lot of favor to New users :-) ] (2) A Plain Horizontal Line should be selectable with left mouse click, as is the case with graphical line. (3) On right clicking a plain horizontal line, a context menu should open and from there a user should be able to select the desired options. It *IS* the approach, which HTML editor front page uses. Can OOo writer/HTML Editor users have the same User Interface? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
