Hi all,
I see improvements and I see shortcomes. I'm no specialist, just want to point
things that jump to my eye.
First, I agree with most of Niklas comments. I see some hidden changes we
probably wouldn't want included: Calibri font in many styles, odd margins in
default page, custom styles (shouldn't these be added to the default ones?).
Not sure about the colors choice, but I guess it was a good choice to pick one
instead of leaving everything black. I'm also still not sure about outline
numbering in the headings. It could serve as advertising the tool, but maybe
leave this to Headings 4 and ahead would be best. Headings 2 and 3 are too much
used in contexts where we don't want numbering, like Niklas said. I also like
the new default fonts.
Of less importance, I see that Heading 10 is linked with Heading, while
Headings 1-9 are linked with Default, on the same hierarquical level as
Heading. Plus, Default style has a 1,5 line spacing (which oddly doesn't show
in the Organizer tab), plus a 0,35cm above and below the paragraph. These are
just too much. I'd suggest picking only below paragraph.
On the other hand, and more importantly, Default style has First Line Indent as next
paragraph. We should realize this is a major shift in the paragraph style use (unless I'm
plainly mistaken). It would mean people wouldn't be using Default style after the first
paragraph, but First Line Indent instead. I believe this is a good thing, as they would
be more aware of using styles. First Line Indent is very descriptive so it would help
understanding there is a whole plenty of choice of paragraphs (I'm thinking of really
layman users, who wouldn't touch a setting that says "default"), and it's a
good style for a text body, so they are not forced to change if they want to stick with
direct formatting. I believe this change is a real step forward, and I would really like
to see it applied.
Cheers to all./
