And I don't even know what context you could possibly use on the main character and paragraph styles panel. The current selection in those cases is going to almost always be the text in the document, not on a control in the sidebar. So what else could we do better than the main help page? Where would you get a help context from? Guidelines for MS Windows would also suggest a Shift-F1 help mode where your cursor changes to a special help cursor and then you can click on individual controls to get help. That might be a possibility, but my impression was that very few users are aware of that help mode. -Rob > Regards, > > -Rob > >> >> Regards >> -- >> Ariel Constenla-Haile >> La Plata, Argentina --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
