--- Comment #149 from mroe <[email protected]> --- I never needed the Normal view, but I attend some wishes. Maybe we should have separate issues for it? > (i) just visually distracting > (ii) wastes a *ton* of vertical space > ([…] page breaks waste between 1/4 and 1/3 of the vertical space […]) 1. no space between pages (vertical and horizontal) or custom adjustable. > * Reasonable footnote editing. Old Word displayed footnotes in a separate > pane when in normal mode; 2. Why not? Displays are mostly wide-screen so there is enough place to have the footnotes beside. For all other things I understand the point of view but I see the problem how Writer formats pages. First of all: Writer uses page templates which can assigned manually or automatic. Second: Images and frames can be anchored in many ways. Third: Page margins are not print margins! One can have images and text frames outside the page margins maybe as an annotation pane. My idea was to have a view with only the content inside the page margins, simply cut around this. But how should the content outside the margins be handled? As a simple example: The first page of a letter. Text are begins at 10,5 cm. Above this and beside are frames for the recipient and the sender and logos for the company. The frames can be anchored at the text area, at the page, at the header or at the footer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
