sztejkat <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #5 from sztejkat <[email protected]> 2011-03-24 00:54:53 --- >(...) I would like to suggest the following changes to the "Paragraph Styles" dialog: <(...)Remove the "Font"(...) I cannot agree to that. This is too much change and will confuse users used to use previous way of working. I would rather appreciate to have there, in a "Font" tab, a check-box "use specified character style" and a drop down list with all available character styles. Selecting use of character style would then disable all GUI elements for editing properties set via character style - font, effects tab, position tab and combo in background tab. This would satisfy users needing what You need and can be safely ignored by users not needing such a functionality but knowing how to use current Oo version. Same can be done for numbering, using "use numbering style" check-box. *Question: May this require file format change? May this create downwards compatibility issue? If any of those are true I would rather NOT recommend implementing this requirement. *Workaround: it as it can be easily done in a following way: - use one paragraph style for all "code" paragraphs; - use one font style for all in-line "code" items; >From time to time run following procedure: Press home Edit->Find&Replace. Show more options Search for style Select paragraph style name Find all Double click on "code" character style in styles list applying "code" character style to all paragraphs selected. Now You may edit paragraph content and new character style will be used everywhere. Changing character style will affect all paragraphs and all inline code. For convenience You may record a macro for doing that. To start a new paragraph with "code" font style forced to it just copy part of previous paragraph and paste it where new code section starts. *Note: Having "the same appearance" for code blocks and in-line code fragments inside a text does not mean, from editor's point of view, to have exactly the same character style. The code paragraph must be readable, correctly indented and etc. The inlined code must obviously look the same but it's size and location must be such that line height of text do not change. Otherwise You will have an awkwardly looking text with lines with code fragments having more space above and below it. As editor may decide on font size for plain text to be different than he/she decides for code paragraphs it may be wise to have separate character styles anyway. -- Configure bugmail: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Bugzilla.
