------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 9 23:41:54 +0000 2007 ------- contextually invoke formula editor in appropriate mode. Software intelligence can be built into open office writer creating a formula object in the right 'mode' depending on the invocation 'context'. It is very distracting and disconcerting to repeatedly set right modes on formula objects when creating documents with lots of formula objects. Formula editor has two modes. 1) "text mode" in which the formula editor squishes the object to display within line height. This mode is used when the author wishes to type equations directly in a paragraph, as part of some explanation, without making the paragraph look bad due to varying line spacing. 2) "normal mode" in which the formula editor displays the object with as much space as needed to present the formula. This mode is used when the author wishes to have the equations stand out clearly with Usually when typing formula in a paragraph there could be many "inline equations" referred to as "text mode" formula by "formula editor". Currently the Writer always invokes the formula editor to make a "normal mode" formula. This requires the user to repeatedly set the right mode often multiple times for every formula object within a paragraph. Suggesting 1) Formula Object be invoked in text mode if within an ordinary paragraph style. 2) Formula Object be invoked in normal mode, if in a style (say named equation style) which has been created with an option not to squish objects to line height. 3) Formula Object be invoked in normal mode, when the "fn" Complete AutoText method. (start newline, type fn, select the text fn, press F3) 4) other ideas you may have using open office writer 2.1 (released) on WinXP There was an old bug originally filed against the formula editor group, which was closed as is claimed does not come within their preview. (issue 39271) just FYI, Another related issue (issue 74359) exists which formula editor group are yet to work on but that should not effect fixing this one.
