------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 13 00:01:30 +0000 2007 ------- I fear renaming "Feldbefehle" into something different will have the same effect that renaming "Stylist" into "Formatvorlagen[-Fenster]" or "Format > Seite" into "Format > Seiteneinstellungen" had: All documentations need to be re-written, but the basic problem, and that is that an untrained user does not understand for what "Stylist" or "Feldbefehl" are good, persists. That is to say: if you need to explain the formatting concept with styles or the possibilities of fields anyway -- think of fields with fixed content (e.g. date) or, even more simple, the field "date" in an other format than DD.MM.YY -- it doesn't matter whether they are called "Feldbefehle", "Variablen" (we already use this term for something else!), or "so graue Dinger". I would agree that moving e.g. the fields "Date" or "Page Number" from the sub-menu "Insert > Fields" directly into the menu "Insert" will probably make them easier to find for a user without any training and without any willingness to read the online help and/or a FAQ. But it will make it notably more difficult to understand (and to explain!) that you can insert the date of the day with, say, "Insert > Date", but if you don't want that it auto-updates and/or you want it in an other format than DD.MM.YY, you need to use a completely different dialogue and learn completely different terms (i.e. "Feldbefehl" or whatever). I hear users very rarely ask "how do I insert the date of the day" or "how do I insert the number of the page"; they far more often ask "how do I change the format that is used for the date of the day" or "how do I insert the page number on all pages (except page 1)". From that point of view, usability will not increase if e.g. "Date" and "Page Number" were located in the "Insert" menu. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
