------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri May 22 13:06:37 +0000 2009 ------- Hi there! I think this is still caused by not knowing what kind of language is desired in all the notes. From my point of view, people chose the text direction on the collaboration partners. Scenario 1, no collaboration: A user writes a text in his mother language and adds notes using the same language. Scenario 2, publish text in foreign language: A user writes a text in a foreign language. For his notes instead, he uses his mother language because he is much faster in writing. Before the document gets published, all notes are removed / unshown. Thus, the notes content may be independent from the document itself (this not only applies to the text direction, but also to the language itself). So - from my point of view - there is no need to guess the direction from the text which is currently written. Proposal. As planned, the notes should get an own paragraph style. Result: - The position of the Note Anchor Area (Sidebar) is retrieved from either the layout of the page's text direction or the page view mode (e.g. faced pages) - The text direction is retrieved from the paragraph style, which usually inherits from paragraph style "Standard" which itself inherits the settings from the page style (the dialog says "use superordinate object settings") - The text direction might be manually changed for a certain note (handled like the document text) @mod: This would solve your examples a) and b). With regard to my examples, example 2 is easy - just change the paragraph style. Example 1 is no problem at all. I think that would be a consistent solution which works for all kinds of documents.
